Test Conditions
Follow the setup and environmental information below to ensure the PXIe-4139 meets the
published specifications. Test limits in this document are based on the January 2016 edition of
the
PXIe-4139 Specifications
, except for more recently revised remote sense test limits.
•
Keep cabling as short as possible. Long cables act as antennas, picking up extra noise that
can affect measurements.
•
Verify that all connections to the PXIe-4139, including front panel connections and
screws, are secure.
•
Ensure that the PXI chassis fan speed is set to HIGH, that the fan filters (if present) are
clean, and that the empty slots contain slot blockers and filler panels. For more
information about cooling, refer to the
Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users
document available at
NI PXIe-4139 Calibration Procedure
