Pickering Interfaces extends range of PXI precision resistor modules
Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI precision resistor modules with the
introduction of two new models.
The 40-261 is a two channel resistor module offering 'excellent' resolution and accuracy and is available in two resistance ranges. The resistor channels cover the range of 1.5 Ohm to 2.9 kOhm or 10Ohm to 36 kOhm with setting resolutions of less than 2 mOhm and 15 mOhm respectively.
Model 40-297 is a range of high density resistor simulators with a broader resistance range and higher channel count, but lower resolution than the 40-261. It is available in 3 standard configurations having resistance ranges of 1 Ohm to 230Ohm, 2 Ohm to 13.5Ohm and 3 Ohm to 1.5 MOhm with 18, 9 and 6 channels respectively. The 6 channel version has a setting resolution of 0.125 Ohm.
Both models have software interfaces based on simple resistance calls for each channel, allowing users to just request the resistance value required. The modules include calibration data that enables the driver to select the nearest value of resistance available.
Both modules occupy just one 3U PXI slot and accurately reflect the behaviour of precise resistor values since they use switched resistors networks.
David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces commented "These resistor modules are part of our expanding range of resistor simulation solutions. The availability of a wide range of solutions allows users to select the best cost and performance solution for their application, and the use of simple resistance calls for control greatly simplifies the user's task in simulating resistors accurately regardless of which model is chosen. The new models complement the existing 40-260 and
40-262 PXI resistor simulators."
