The 40-260 is the first in a new family of PXI based precision programmable resistor modules from Pickering Interfaces. This new generation of modules features high resistance setting resolution with excellent resistance stability and accuracy through the use of innovative switching networks and software correction techniques.
Each module supports three identical resistor channels that can be set to a range of resistance values with a setting resolution of better than 10m Ohm, making the 40-260 ideal for simulating sensors that require fine adjustment of their resistance. Thanks to the use of innovative technology the 40-260 ensures all resistance values can be set – no missing values because of switch resistance or resistor tolerance. Additionally, each channel can be set as open or short circuit to simulate faults in cabling systems.
Applications include strain gauge and temperature dependent resistor emulation.
