pxi-4071 ranges

[Clint Eastwood]

Why is it so hard to find the ranges for the PXI-4071???????  I called National and they told me:

The ranges that are possible to use are:

+-.02
+-.20
+-2
+-25
+-250
Yet when I open the soft front panel there is a range up to 1000 volts.  Where is this listed??  I need ranges for VDC, current dc and resistance ( opens...infinite)  I'm using the DMM drivers that ships w LV 8.6.

Thanks

All of the range specifications will be found in the PXI-4071 user guide and specifications document.

If you search on ni.com for 4071 you will find the PXI-4071 product page.  Going to the specifications tab, and then clicking "detailed specifications" opens this document.  It contains all of the specifications and accuracy ratings of the device.

Page two specifies that for DC voltage the following are valid ranges:

100mV

1V

10V

100V

which also show up in the DMM soft front panel.

 For DC current, see page 4, which states

Resistance, page 5,

1kOhm

10k

100k

1M

10M

30M

100M

Thse pages also have the charts for the accuracy of the DMM at each one of these ratings.
