PXD 7211 PXD 7212 PXD 7213PXD 7214
High input voltage range allows easy measurementThe maximum voltage for each signal input is ±60 V. This allows high voltage signals to be measured without additional signal conditioning.
Acquired data can be pre-trigger, post-trigger, or anywhere in between, with a programmable sample counter that controls the number of data points. A great amount of trigger capabilities results in multiple instrument and channel syn-chronisation possibilities.
High troughput design for many applicationsThe digitizers of the PXD721x Family are designed for high throughput testing. Multiple measurements in combination with the memory segmenting feature (option) results in additional test time improvement.

VX 7340VX 7342VX 7344
The maximum voltage for each signal input is 60 V (120 Vpp). With the HV-option the range can be extended to 250 V (500 Vpp). This allows high voltage signals to be measured without signal conditioning.
The instrument calibration is done digitally and is fully automatic. The calibration data are stored in onboard EEPROM.
Each channel is fully isolated. This results in a very high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) compared to differential inputs. It allows floating low level signals to be measured with a very high accuracy and a maximum of resolution. This design of the VX7344 guarantees highest quality measurements.

Available for VX Instruments waveform digitizersThe timer/counter option (T/C) is available for almost every VX Instruments waveform digitizer. This functionality is implemented fully digitally in hardware to save components, space, time and costs.
Many direct measurement possibilities collaterally with the digitizer samplingWith the timer/counter option every digitizer has the ability to measure rise times, fall times, fre-quencies, period and pulse width very fast. This is also possible while the digitizers samples data after a trigger event. The timer/counter engine returns the results quickly after the measure-ment. There is no need to evaluate the sampled data points.
High time base accuracy and high input voltage range possibleFor digitizers with a time base accuracy of 1 ppm (may be optionable), the timer/counter time base accuracy will be also 1 ppm. Furthermore the input voltage range and input impedance depends on the input range of the digitizer, which has the timer/counter option imple-mented.
For the PXD731x Waveform Digitizer family, the maximum input voltage can be 500 Vpp. The time base accuracy is 1 ppm.

Flexible configurable PXI PlatformThis Family of Arbitrary Function Generators is based on the ”Flexible configurable PXI Platform“ (FlexCPP). This platform allows many variants of customer configured Arbitrary Function Genera-tors.
High speed, high resolution arbitrary waveform generatorThe PXA722x ArbGen-Family features up to two simultaneously working channels with 100 MS/s, 16 Bit resolution and an output voltage up to +30 V or ±15 V.Every ArbGen channel has its own 2 MByte memory. The whole amount of one million sam-ples can be partitioned into one or more wave-form-segments.Depending on the number of channels and the floating option, the Arbitrary Function Genera-tors are built into a compact 3 U PXI device for one or two slots.
Built-in waveform functionsPredefined waveforms (DC, sine, square, trian-gle, sawtooth) can be configured via software driver. Furthermore it is possible to load a user-created waveform.
Fully independent channelsEach channel has its own Clock-PLL, memory and state machine for START, STOP, TRIGGER, SAMPLING and SEQUENCING. This guarantees both channels work completely independently. A great amount of trigger capabilities results in multiple sophisticated instrument and channel synchronisation possibilities.
Complex waveforms without memory reloadingArbitrary waveforms will be loaded via data files into the on-board memories for waveform data (1 MS) and sequence data (512 sequences). The memory can be segmented and sequenced in any desired order. Furthermore, amplitude and offset can be changed on the fly without writing new data into the memories.
High output voltages allows easy stimulationThe standard output voltage is ±15 V (30 Vpp). With an optional extension the output stage can be switched to achieve output voltages up to +30 V into high impedance load. This allows high voltage waveform stimulation without additional signal conditioning.

VX 2026
The VX2026 is a high speed (40 MS/s), 14 Bit, Arbitrary Waveform Generator for high perfor-mance testing. Build-in functions for pre-defined waveforms (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth) are available via software driver. Arbitrary waveforms will be loaded via data files into the on-board memory.
The VX2026, C-size single slot VXI module is designed for high throughput testing.
Each channel has its own Clock-PLL, memory and state machine for START, STOP, TRIGGER, SAMPLING and SEQUENCING.
This guarantees the two channels function com-plete independently. Both channels have 512 kS (1 MByte) of memory each and can be upgraded to 2 MS (4 MByte) or 4 MS (8 MByte).
The maximum voltage for each signal output is ±20 V (40 VPP) into high impedance load. This allows high voltage waveform stimulation with-out signal conditioning. The instrument calibration is done digitally and is fully automatic. The calibration data are stored in on-board EEPORM. Each channel is fully iso-lated to PE.

Very fast linear output stageThe very fast risetime allows current pulse up to 100 A with a programmable pulse length of 100 µs up to 8 ms. Three voltage ranges (1 V, 10 V, 50 V) allow accurate programming of the ouput.
Two operation modesIn dynamic mode current up to 100 A with pulse length of 100 µs to 8 ms can be programmed. To protect the power amplifier, an “IxT-Limiter” is integrated so as not to exceed the current time area of 100 A x 2 ms (AXC7603) or 100 A x 8 ms (AXC7608).
In static mode output current up to 20 A can be programmed. This continuous current can be delivered as long as the power dissipation in the power amplifier does not exceed 700 W. When the power dissipation exceeds 600 W and the boundary temperature is reached, the tem-
perature control turns the instrument off. At 0 V output voltage the response time of the tem-perature control can take up to several minutes. At an output voltage of 30 V it can take up to one hour.
At higher current the IxT-Limiter protects the HC-Source from damage.

High-speed power supplyThe AXS772x is a single channel, high-speedpower supply for high performance measure-ments. This reliable series, each a 3 U 19” mod-ule, is designed for high throughput testing by realizing short rise and fall times. The rise and fall times are programmable.
Fully isolated outputs to avoid ground loopsAll devices of the AXS772x series have one output which is fully isolated. The control loop for programmable output-voltage and -current is available as a standard analogue control and as a fully digital control. The digital control does not cause overshoot or ringing of the output and allows fast impedance-changing of loads.
Auto-sensing protects units under testAn auto-sensing feature is integrated as a built-in security to protect Units under Test.
Various device variants availableThe programmable output voltage and current is available in various ranges (see specification). The AXS772x-Family supports current source and sink. This fact allows very fast fall times even with high capacity of the Units Under Test (UUT).
Integrated measurement possibilitiesThe AXS772x has an integrated current and voltage Measurement Unit to read back the actual current flow through the UUT and the actual voltage applied to the UUT.
Industry standard SCPI commands and VXI Plug&Play drivers simplify system integration.
The instrument calibration is done digitally and is fully automatic. The calibration data are stored in on-board EEPROM.
DC floating voltageOutput terminals can float up to ±500 VDC from chassis ground.
Remote sensingUp to 3 V can be dropped in each load lead. The drop in the load leads subtracts from the voltage available for the load.
Auto sensingSense output terminals can be left open, sensing on force output terminals is guaranteed auto-matically.
Low latencyThe average time required for the output voltage to begin to change following receipt of digital data is 20 ms for the power supplies connected directly to the GPIB.
Output programming response timeThe rise and fall time (10-90% and 90-10%) of the output voltage is less than 5 ms; The output voltage change settles within one LSB (0.025% x rated voltage) of final value in less than 20 ms.
GPIB interface capabilitiesSH1, AH1, T6, L4, SR0, RL1 (4),PP0, DC1, DT0 and C0;IEEE-488.2-compatible command set.
Extremely low noise with linear output stage
Fully isolated design, floating outputs Specially designed for automatic test equipment and high troughput testing

AXB 5721
Modes of OperationThe AXB5721 contains two completely independent bipolar precision power amplifiers in one cabinet.
The AXB5721 features two different operating modes:
a) Programmable bipolar DC voltage source with current limiting, b) Voltage controlled amplifier, based on an external signal, with current limiting that is also controlled by another external signal.
Programmable DC Voltage Source with Current LimitingIn this operating mode, the AXB5721 works as a high-precision four-quadrant DC voltage source. The AXB5721 output voltage can be programmed in the range of –20 V to +20 V. Cur-rent limiting may be programmed from 0.25 A to 5.0 A. This value applies both for the positive and negative current limits.
Voltage Controlled Amplifier with Current LimitingIn this operating mode, the AXB5721 can be used both as a high-precision bipolar DC volt-age source and as a broadband AC precision amplifier (depending on the input signal). The
AXB5721 output voltage is controlled by an external DC or AC voltage (V reference). The current reference input (I reference) accepts a DC signal (no AC signal). The output voltage follows the V reference independently of load resistance. The output current is limited as soon as it reaches the value set by the I reference.

VX 4620
Fully isolated outputs to avoid ground loopsEach VX4620 device has two outputs which are galvanically isolated. The regulation loops for programmable output voltage, positive output current and negative output current are inde-pendent. This fact allows different positive and negative current limits.
Auto-sensing protects units under testAn auto-sensing feature is integrated as a built-in security to protect Units Under Test.
Auto sensingSense output terminals can be left open; sensing on force output terminals is guaranteed auto-matically.
Remote sensingUp to 3 V can be dropped in each load lead. The drop in the load leads subtracts from the voltage available for the load.
Four-quadrant source and sinkThe programmable output voltage can be pro-grammed up to ±100 V at an output current of up to 1 A. The maximum power dissipation of 80 W per channel may not be exceeded. The VX4620 supports current source and sink. This fact allows very fast fall times even with high capacity of the Units Under Test.
Stable control loopThe integrated control loop is able to handle inductive loads. This results in a stable output control even with long lines from source to load.
Output programming response timeThe fastest rise and fall time (1% … 99% and 99% … 1%) of the output voltage is less than 1 ms; The output voltage change settles within 0.1% of the final value in less than 5 ms.

PXT 1741
The PXT1741 Trigger Module is designed to build up a connection between trigger signals from any external trigger source (5 V TTL standard) and the PXI trigger bus. Therefore the device is equipped with four SMA front connectors.
The PTX1741 Trigger Module provides 12 inde-pendent configurable trigger lines, where each can be used as trigger source or trigger target. In addition there are two more trigger sources (PXI Star trigger and Software trigger).
Each trigger output signal can be a combination (OR) of all available trigger sources except the trigger line itself.
With the additional software trigger, each device linked with the PXT1741 Trigger Module can be triggered at any time with a simple software command.
Block DiagramThe diagram above shows the block diagram of the PXT1741 Trigger Module as a matrix. The configurable hardware trigger lines shown on the right and left side (T1 to T4 and PXI T0 to PXI T7) of the diagram represents the rows of the matrix. The trigger sources (12 configurable
trigger lines + two additional trigger sources) represents the columns of the matrix. Each of the red dots in the diagram marks a connection between trigger source and trigger output line. (For example: front panel trigger output T1 is a combination of the trigger sources “Software” and PXI_T0).

VX 2210
The VX2210 is a high precision, nine digit, 100 MHz Timer Counter for high performance measurements. The two input channels (A and B) can be used independently and provide capa-bilities needed for electronic test applications.
Counter functions include frequency, period, pulse width, time interval, rise and fall time and totalize measurements. An optional third chan-nel (C) can be used for frequency measurements of up to 1.3 GHz.
The VX2210, C-size single slot VXI module is designed for high throughput testing. The maximum voltage for each signal input is
±250 V. This allows high voltage measurements without signal conditioning. The instrument cal-ibration is done digitally and is fully automatic. The calibration data are stored in on-board EEPORM.
The channels are floating and isolated. This results in a very high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) compared to differential inputs. It allows low level signals to be measured with a very high accuracy and a maximum of reso-lution. This design of the VX2210 guarantees highest quality measurements. All channels are connected to the same ground.

TEST SYSTEMS & CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
Off-the-shelf products or custom-designed solutions – in the end it’s your satisfaction that matters. Our large range of standard products tells its own story – nevertheless our development aim is always the best individual solution.
Whether we talk about standard products or individual developments, there is always one thing in common: quality, reliability and preci-sion.
The VX 8800 is the ideal test solution for mixed signal Devices or Units Under Test (DUT/UUT). The open and modular architecture allows a wide range of applications to be tested by this system. This architecture allows easy adaptation to different applications. The overall architecture consists of a Windows 2000 (or XP, Vista or 7) based controller running the National Instru-ments LabWindows/CVI or LabView or Qt soft-ware. The controller is connected to the VXI-Bus or PXI-Bus based instrument rack. The test system resources (instruments, loads and power supplies) are routed to the Unit Under Test (UUT) through the Instrument-Matrix and Power-Matrix cards that plug into the VX8500 switch unit.
PRODUCT INFORMATIONThe VX 8800 Functional Test System has an open platform and relies on industry standard instrumentations.For high-end applications the system can be configured with instrumentations based on the VXI-Bus architecture. For medium applications the system can be configured based on the PXI-Bus architecture. In addition, the system can be supplemented with any traditional rack and stack devices controlled by the IEEE-488 bus or via Ethernet (LXI).
VX8500 Switch Unit (14-Slot)The true core of the platform lies in the switch unit. The programmable switch unit is used for instrumentation switching, plus switching power supplies and loads to or from the Unit or Device under Test (UUT/DUT). A powerful controller is connected to the switch unit via an digital I/O interface. The system resources are routed to the UUT/DUT through the Signal Matrix either directly or via an 16 channel wide analog bus. The analog bus is daisy-chained from card to card to route any signal to or from any UUT pin.
Instrument Matrix CardThe instrument matrix card consists of a 8 x16 matrix, which provides connections into or out of the system for eight rows into 16 columns. All 16 columns have access to the analog bus. The instrument matrix card has a relay settling time of <1 ms. Each channel supports up to 1 A.
Power Matrix CardThe power matrix card consists of a 8 x16 matrix, which provides connections into or out of the system for eight rows into 16 columns. All 16 columns have access to the analog bus. Each channel supports up to 2 A.
High Current Matrix CardThe high current matrix card consists of a 8 x16 matrix, which provides connections into or out of the system for eight rows into 16 columns. All 16 columns have access to the analog bus. Each channel supports up to 6 A.
High Frequency Matrix CardThe high frequency matrix card consists of a 4 x4 50 Ohm matrix, which provides connections into or out of the system for four rows into four columns. All four columns have access to the analog bus. For more information and detailed specification please contact us.
Tester InterfaceThe switching unit interconnects via the Mass Interconnect to the Unit Under Test (UUT). The tester interface consists of an receiver interface and an Interchangeable Test Adapter (ITA) from Virginia Panel, each having its own connector blocks and matching pins. The ITA inserts into the receiver and locks in place.
The VX 8800 from VX Instruments is a com-mercial off-the-shelf platform for electronics functional testing.
Test Engineering ChallengesTest deployment on time and within budget is your responsibility. To accomplish this, the test system utilized must provide adequate test cov-erage and test times while ensuring the manu-facture of quality products. In developing a test platform, you must balance many competing goals:time, test development, execution and system deployment cost, capital and integration scope, throughput, accuracy and flexibility.
Competing in today’s electronic manufacturing environment means using reusable, scaleable test platforms that meet the evolving test requirements.

Comparison of the total errors of measurement for differential and potential-free measure-mentsFor comparison, both of the measurement methods were based on a measurement instru-ment with identical technical specifications.
The maximum total error of measurement is calculated from the sum of quantization error, gain error (DC gain accuracy), offset error and CMRR error.
Calculation of DC gain accuracy, quantization and offset error for a differential measurement using a practical exampleAgain, we examine the simple example of a cur-rent measurement on a shunt and the recording of the signal development with digital storage oscilloscopes and digitizers. For devices without
any floating inputs, at least one differential inlet or the use of a differential probe is required. Fig-ure 2 shows a measurement task in a schematic diagram.
Choosing the measurement rangeIn order to record the signal to be measured (1 Volt amplitude) with an offset of 20 V against earth ground, a measurement range greater than the sum of offset and signal amplitude – here: offset 20 V + signal 1 V, i. e. 21 V – must be chosen for the differential measurement.
Error sources With an example resolution of 14 Bit (see
Figure 1), a measurement signal of 1 V can be quantized with 655 steps within a measuring range of 25 V. This corresponds to a quantization of about 1.5 mV per LSB. This case results in a quantization error of 0.75 mV.
With a gain accuracy of 0.15%, the resulting gain error for a measurement signal of 1 V would be about 1.5 mV.
In addition, the offset error calculated for a share of 0.2% of the measurement range (25 V) would be 50 mV.
Therefore, the resulting sum of gain and offset error equals 51.5 mV. To these errors, the CMRR error must also be added this error is described below.
Calculation of DC gain accuracy, quantization and offset error for a potential-free measure-ment using a practical exampleThe schematic diagram for this measurement task is shown in Figure 3.

GLOSSARY
UNCOMPLICATED, ERROR-FREE AND PRECISE MEASUREMENTS WITH FLOATING MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTSAlmost all of us know and appreciate the floating measurement technology of multime-ters, even if we may not be directly aware of it. Not only hand-held devices, but tabletop units as well are equipped with ports without a connection to earth. The outlets of most labo-ratory power supply units are isolated as well. With storage oscilloscopes, digitizers (see page 92 for Technical Terms), timers/counters and waveform generators, on the other hand, this is mostly not the case. However, there are almost no arguments for doing without with the advan-tages of floating measurement technology with respect to these groups of devices.
In our electrified age, measurement instru-ments for electrical values of any type play an important role in development laboratories as well as in product testing systems. Components have to be supplied and activated by means of electrical stimulation. Electrical parameters have to be verified in test objects. During these procedures, there are often measurement errors due to ground loops or interferences due to faulty ground connections. In addition, there is a risk of accidental short-circuit with measure-ment instruments with ground reference. While such risks can be reduced by using differential measurement techniques, differential measure-ment technology has some disadvantages of its own, which can be significantly reduced or even completely avoided with the use of floating measurement technology such as multimeters.
Floating measurement technology – higher precision and high common-mode rejectionA common method is to measure the voltage drop in a shunt using a multimeter. Especially for more complex circuits, this signal can be affected by a ground offset. With a floating multimeter, this measurement is no problem and there is usually no need to worry about the ground reference or other error sources.In case such a voltage drop is to be recorded by means of a storage oscilloscope, there is usually the problem that most of the storage oscillo-scopes available on the market are not poten-tial-free. In these devices, the signal ground is connected to the earth ground, which means that the signal can only be recorded with a dif-ferential measurement (see Figure 2).
Especially with digital storage oscilloscopes, the search for floating measurement instruments often fails. While there appear to be alternatives like battery operation, this is not a real option when considered in detail. This is due to several reasons:
With the battery operation of multichannel instruments, though the signal ground may be separated from earth, all of the channels have the same ground. Therefore, the recording of the voltage signal on the measured shunt is possible; however, the remaining channels can generally no longer be used under these circumstances.
With respect to electrical safety, the isolated operation of a normal oscilloscope is only admissible under very restricted conditions. Because the ground of the device is usually not protected against accidental contact, this ground may only be applied to voltages which are considered non-hazardous in case of contact.

Floating measurement technology – avoiding interferences and ground loopsFloating measurement and stimulating instru-ments are useful for avoiding a number of other interferences in addition to minor errors due to a higher common-mode rejection. In particular, floating measurement technology offers additional advantages for environments with strong interference effects, small measured signals, long connecting lines and high-voltage applications. It is entirely possible for earthing points (PE) of the mains power supply to have different potentials. Such ground potential differ-ences are most likely if the two coupled sys-tems are operated with different supply points (for example different fuse protections or even buildings). For normal measurement technology with ground reference, a potential difference of the grounds (Uground, parasitic; AC and DC) is added to the actually relevant measured signal (Usrc, here generated by the test object) (see Figure 5). Hence, the measurement (Umeas, for example by means of an oscilloscope) may deviate from reality.
With the use of floating measurement instru-ments and a systematic grounding of the measurement assembly at a pre-defined point, interferences by ground loops can be avoided. Isolated systems should be systematically grounded at a pre-defined point as well, as this way, interference currents from the poten-tial-separated power or auxiliary supply of the measurement or stimulating instrument are eliminated. While such interferences can be neglected by the device manufacturer when choosing a suitable electrically isolated voltage generation, the pre-defined grounding at one point creates additional safety which should be utilized.The following applies in every case: if the test object is already grounded, the use of float-ing measurement technology is obligatory for precise measurements. The same is true for measurement assemblies with long supply lines or high current values.
Zero potential – also relevant for signal generationIf we take another look at Figure 5, it is obvi-ous that even in the opposite case, i.e. when a stimulating instrument (Usrc) is used, floating technology offers the same advantages. If the test object (Umeas) is supplied or if a signal is applied to it, the voltage for the test object Umeas increases in the case shown above, if the stim-ulating device is connected to earth (PE). In this case as well, the principle applies that the use of a floating stimulating device (for example an Arbitrary Function Generator,, see page 92 for Technical Terms) is beneficial if the test object is already grounded.
ConclusionThe error calculations for the measurement example above show that the measurement accuracy can be significantly improved by using floating measurement instruments. In combina-tion with the use of floating stimulating devices such as arbitrary function generators, in which both of the channels are isolated from one another and also from earth, many ground prob-lems can be avoided in the assembly of complex systems and the realization of demanding test procedures can be made considerably easier. Especially for measurement tasks with several different potentials, the combination of floating digitizers and arbitrary function generators (both devices have two channels which are respec-tively isolated from one another and also from earth) facilitate the measurement procedures considerably, as the total of four channels of the two instruments can be operated with four different potentials without any loss of accuracy or ground problems.
Thus, the floating measurement technology provides considerable advantages for many applications.

Choosing the measurement rangeFor a digitizer with potential-free inputs, the corresponding 1 V range can be chosen as the measurement range for the signal to be mea-sured (1 V amplitude).
Error sources With 14 Bit, as well, a resolution of full 16384
LSB per Volt results (61 µV per Bit). Therefore, the effective resolution is higher than before by a factor of 25. Here, a quantization error of 31 µV results.
With an accuracy of 0.15% and a measurement range of 1 V, the gain error is about 1.5 mV.
The offset error resulting from a calculation with an accuracy of 0.2% of the measurement range (1 V) is 2 mV.
In this case, the sum of gain and offset error equals c. 3.5 mV. The comparison with the example of the differential measurement shows that the measurement accuracy for this example with floating measurement instruments could be significantly increased.
Common-mode rejectionThe common-mode rejection (CMRR, see page 92 for Technical Terms) of the measurement instrument used also has a considerable influ-ence on the accuracy of the signal to be mea-sured. The common-mode error is created when a part of the common-mode signal is coupled with the measuring circuit of the measurement instrument. The common-mode rejection is
usually subject to frequency and decreases with increasing frequency. This means that the mea-surement error increases when the frequency increases.
In floating devices, the common-mode rejection is significantly higher due to their architecture (more than 100 dB for direct current and typ. 80-90 dB for 50 Hz) and therefore, the mea-surement error is considerably lower than in devices with differential measurement inputs (typ. 40-50 dB).
Common-mode and total errorFor differential measurement, a common mode error of 200 mV results when there is a com-mon-mode signal of 20 V and a CMRR of 40 dB (1/100). Therefore, the total measurement error is 200 mV + 51.5 mV = c. 250 mV or 25% of the measurement signal.
In this case as well, the accuracy of the floating measurement technology is far more accu-rate. With a common-mode rejection of 80 dB (1/10000), the common-mode signal of 20 V in this case only causes an error of 2 mV. Hence, the total error is only 3.5 mv + 2 mV = 5.5 mV or 0.55% of the measured signal and is therefore about 50 time lower than with differential mea-surement technology.
The example shows the significantly superior accuracy of measuring the current-equivalent voltage signal in a shunt by means of floating measurement technology.

TECHNICAL TERMSDigitizer: Digitizers are devices for the recording of signals using an internal memory which are similar to digital storage oscilloscopes, but with-out an integrated display. The signal analysis is carried out at the computer via a fast interface such as PCI, PXI or PXIe. As additional bus sys-tems for the transfer of data, older bus systems such as VMW or VXI are also supported.
Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR): The common-mode rejection ratio of a differential or floating measurement instrument indicates the extent of the influence of a parasitic com-mon-mode voltage (cf. UInput in Figure 1, p. 89). The smaller the common-mode rejection is, the greater the effect of the common-mode voltage is on the measurement result. In an ideal case, the common-mode voltage does not have any effect on the actual measurement value (cf. UOut in Figure 1, p. 89).
Arbitrary Function Generator: Arbitrary func-tion generators are devices for the generation of any types of waveforms. They have the basic functionality of a waveform generator, but in addition are able to output any types of wave-forms which can be freely programmed by the user (for example from a CSV file). Moreover, they are often able to create freely definable sequences from a variety of different wave-forms.
SMU: A source- and measurement unit (SMU) is a precise power supply with measurement capabilities. Those devices are able to measure their own output current and voltage. In some cases the measurement units are completely separated from the source so that they can also be used for external measurements. Our source- and measurement units are very fast power supplies (mostly four-quadrant sources) with accurate measurement units with high resolu-tion.
HP: Semiconductors are currently growing extremely in their package size and electrical spezifications. Applications like hybrid-vehicles, electric motors and solar power reqire semicon-ductors with higer voltage and current values.As every parts these high-power-components have to be tested. Due to this VX Instruments delivers a few devices which are capable to source and measure up to 1000 A or 3000 Vpp.
