Overview
National Instruments 4065 devices are low-cost 6 1⁄2-digit PXI, PCI,
PCI Express, and USB DMMs for the measurement of voltage, current,
and resistance, or for diode test. They are ideally suited for OEMs,
educational laboratories, or other cost-conscious test and measurement
facilities. With ±300 VDC/Vrms of isolation, current measurements up to
3 A, and 2- or 4-wire resistance measurements, NI 4065 DMMs provide
a complete multimeter solution for basic 6 1⁄2-digit measurement needs.
For higher-performance requirements, consider using NI 407x PCI
and PXI FlexDMM devices. They combine industry-leading accuracy and
resolution at 6 1⁄2 and 7 1⁄2 digits with 1.8 MS/s digitizer capability for faster
sampling rates in production test environments.
Flexible Software Improves Usability
You can program NI 4065 DMMs through a standard application
programming interface (API) in NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI or
Microsoft programming languages. For simple benchtop measurements,
the NI-DMM Soft Front Panel provides the common display and interface
found on traditional DMMs to make simple measurements quickly and
easily. When combined with switches, the DMM/Switch Express VI can
rapidly develop a high-channel-count data-logging system with a single
function call in LabVIEW. In LabVIEW SignalExpress, the DMM/Switch
Express VI sets up a live data logger without any programming.
Efficient Mixture of Accuracy, Resolution,
and Speed
NI 4065 DMMs offer 6 1⁄2 digits of resolution at up to 10 readings/s and
up to 3000 readings/s at lower resolutions. By trading off speed for
resolution, you can maximize measurement quality and throughput.
NI 4065 DMMs also offer comparable accuracy over a 24-hour cycle
or one year of an external calibration to other GPIB, LAN, or USB-based

Table 1. NI 4065 Reading Rates versus Resolution
6 1⁄2-digit DMMs on the market. With an NI 4065, there is no need to
sacrifice basic measurement quality for a low selling price.
For higher resolution, accuracy, or speed, consider using one of the
NI 407x 6 1⁄2-digit FlexDMM devices. The PCI-4070 can accurately measure
100 readings/s at 61⁄2 digits with 31 ppm of DC voltage accuracy over a
two-year period. This represents a 3X improvement over the NI 4065
DMMs for accuracy and noise. The PXI-4071 is also available with
measurements at 7 1⁄2 digits up to 1000 V. For more information on the
complete line of National Instruments DMMs, visit ni.com/multimeters.
Low-Cost 6 1⁄2-Digit Multimeters
Integration with Switching
NI PXI-4065
You can easily combine the NI PXI-4065 DMM with NI PXI switches in the
low-cost NI PXI-1033 integrated chassis and controller to create highchannel-count, 6 1⁄2-digit data-logging systems with up to 588 channels.
You can configure these systems, controllable from any PCI Express or
ExpressCard slot on a PC or laptop computer, with more than 100
available PXI switch topologies. For further system expansion, you can
add more than 3,000 channels with each additional 18-slot PXI chassis.
Figure 3. Use the USB-4065 with USB-controlled switching for a complete
DMM/switch solution.
Ordering Information

NI USB-4065, PCI-4065 and PCIe-4065
You can integrate NI 4065 DMMs with stand-alone switching using the
4- or 12-slot USB Switch Mainframes from National Instruments. You can
configure these switch systems, controllable from any available USB port
on a PC or laptop computer, with more than 50 available SCXI switch
topologies. For existing SCXI switch systems, the NI 4065 DMMs can also
provide control via the AUX connector on the front of the DMM. Switching
offers a simple method of channel expansion for data-logging systems
based on an NI 4065.
