Overview
The Nicslab XDAC B-80 (SKU XDAC-80MUB-R4G8) is a compact 80-channel source measurement system. Each channel independently sources and measures voltage or current, with 4-quadrant outputs that can both source and sink current.
The instrument is intended for low-power applications, from simple electronic circuits to complex photonic integrated circuits. Each channel operates in Constant Current (CC) or Constant Voltage (CV) mode, and voltage and current readings are available in real time.
Control and software
The system is controlled through a graphical user interface or through SCPI commands, which can be used from Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW and C#. It connects over Ethernet, and a USB-to-Ethernet adaptor is included.
Basic and Premium versions
The unit comes in Basic and Premium software tiers. The Basic version works on a fixed ±16 V output range. The Premium version adds software-selectable ±2.5 V, ±5 V and ±10 V sub-ranges for higher-resolution operation. It also adds configuration save and upload, CC/CV sequence automation, data recording and per-channel short-circuit protection.
