Why is the PXI-2575 not recommended for 2-wire resistance measurements?

The spec for the NI PXI/PXIe-2575 says "Note   The NI PXI/PXIe-25-75 is not recommended for 2-wire resistance measurements". Why is this? If I want to perform 2-wire resistance measurements, what would be a good alternative?

It really depends on your measurement.  The problem with 2-wire resistance measurements is that the resistance of the wiring and the switch path will be included in your measurement.  If you are measuring in the kOhms to MOhms, this should be neglible.  But measuring anything smaller will add a large error.  That is why 4-wire resistance measurements are recommended.  The sense lines can measure the voltage across the part you actually want to measure and an accurate measurement can be made.
This is true for all switches.
My philosophy is to use 4-wire measurements except when checking for an open.

  • Why is the a505 series not compatible for the windows 10 upgrade

    Why is the a505 series not compatible for the windows 10 upgrade. It does not show up in the system available for the upgrade.

    Nobody said that it wasn't compatible. Microsoft makes that determination.  Toshiba, however, has chosen not to write new utilities and drivers for it for Windows 10.

  • Why are the iWork apps not free FOR ME?

    This might be a pretty old question, but lately I came to know that iWork apps were/are free for iOS 7 running devices, and my iPhone 4s which runs on iOS 7.1.2 and I activated it JUST 4 DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 2013 (And many say, those who activated their iDevices after September 1st of 2013 are eligible to download iWork apps for free) is not able to get those apps for free. So is there any trick on refreshing/re-activating my account so that I get those apps (iPhoto, iMovie, Pages etc.) for free? Not being mean, but I feel so embarrassed for not activating my phone just after 4 days so that all those apps which I needed most would have been free (And ofcourse I did not know They would come for free if I had activated my phone afer 4 days ).

    The offer for free iWorks apps is date dependent. If you purchased it prior to the eligible date, no, you are not entitled to them for free, and there is no trick to getting them. you will need to purchase them.

  • Why is the iOS 5 not available for the iPhone 3G??

    So disappointed that the iPhone 3G can't update to the new iOS 5!!!!!!!  Does anybody know why??? Is there any solution?
    Now I can't syncronize my data like I used to do it with mobile me!!!
    SO DISAPPOINTED Apple!!!
    You SHOULD make it available to all iPhone users, not just the new ones!

    Yes, Mobile me is available until january, but since I downloaded Lion I thought the best option was to switch to iCloud, so my Mobile me isn't available anymore... I can still sync my data manually!
    After that was when I tryed to update my iPhone and got the surprise that it's not compatible with the iOS5!
    I guess it's time to get a new phone... haha
    This is my first big disappointment with Apple... sad
    Thanks everbody !

  • Why is the gift package not available for the Apple Wireless Keyboard?

    It's available for the Apple Magic Mouse. Is it the size of the box? Or perhaps the shape of it?

    That is the way Apple decided to market the device.

  • Why does the Chat window not open for the Apple Store

    I was at the Apple Store and clicked on the "Chat Now" button and tried the other "Chat" link.  Both brought up a pop-up link but the window was blank.  I tried it several times to no avail.
    I thought I would send it back to Apple as feedback but I could not find a feedback option in the menu.
    I am using the latest version of Safari, 6.0.2 (8536.26.17)

    Hello am-i-will
    Move your mouse near the header and a menu should pop up and then you should have an option to download your attachments.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

  • Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63

    Hi!
    Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63 an 410.21... for the old OS 400....
    was OVI Maps available.
    I got an license for ovi and now it is not running ;-(
    Have any one an idea... thanks

    Currently there is something very seriously broken in the latest firmwares, Maps 3.0x SIS files or Nokia Maps Updater. Until Nokia gets their problems sorted out, the only way to restore Maps 3.x after factory reset or firmware update is to use a version meant for previous generation devices, like this one (thanks to the user ovikovi).

  • CWSerial/CWGPIB on Win7 :"The subject is not trusted for the specified action"

    Hello,
    I'm currently trying to migrate a VBA software from WinXP + Excel2000 to Win7 + Excel2010 and I'm encountering a big problem. The software is using activeX control such as CWSerial and CWGPIB but when I'm trying to add them I get the following error "The subject is not trusted for the specified action".
    I'm more or less certain it's a permission problem, I just can't figure out how to solve it. I'm also pretty sure it's not a VBA version problem because I tried to do the same manipulation on a Win7 + Excel2000 machine and got the same error, so it must be related to the OS.
    What I have already tried:
    Regsvr32 on cwinstr.ocx.
    Downgrading the Microsoft Office version to 2000 again.
    Set Excel's Trust Center to enable all controls without restriction.
    Fiddle with the registry keys following instructions on internet for similar problems.
    Re-install everything on a new machine.
    Did anybody face the same problem and/or has a solution? I'm working on a Virtual Machine so I can test every idea without fearing data loss.
    Thank you for your help!

    The only way to know what is going on is to retrieve the certificate and check who is the issuer.<br />
    It is always possible that the server doesn't send the full certificate chain (intermediate certificates), so it might help to post a link to this website
    Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
    Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    *Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
    *Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

  • The operation is not allowed for result set type FORWARD_ONLY

    Hi,
    I am trying to use scroll insensitive resultset in following manner-
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("some sql here");
    rs.last();
    but the rs.last() throws this exception-
    com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.SQLExceptionSapDB: The operation is not allowed for result set type FORWARD_ONLY.
         at com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.ResultSetSapDB.assertNotForwardOnly(ResultSetSapDB.java:2725)
         at com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.ResultSetSapDB.last(ResultSetSapDB.java:557)
    Database version: Kernel    7.5.0    Build 019-121-082-363
    Driver Version: MaxDB JDBC Driver, MySQL MaxDB, 7.6.0    Build 030-000-005-567
    This used to work with 7.5 version driver. Why this is failing with 7.6 driver, any clues?
    Thanks,
    Vinod

    Hi Vinod,
    due to performance improvement when using forward only cursor we changed the default for the resultset type from TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE to TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY starting with JDBC driver version 7.6. So I guess the exception comes from a statement where you didn't set the resultset type while creating it. Please check if all of the statements that you want to be scrollable have set the correct resultset type.

    Marco
