1. Define a Simulated Device - PXIe-4535 in MAX.
2. Open "Test Panel"
3. Use the default parameters of the test:
a. Measurement type - thermocouple
b. Max Input Limit - 100
c. Min Input Limit - 0
d. Units - Deg C
e. Thermocouple type - J
f. CJC Source - Built In
4. Click Start.
The result is Sin Wave.
The sample values range ~[-1030,-74.7], out of the Max/Min Limits.
=> BAD sample results, values lower than -273 C ?!?!?!?!
If I change the Max/Min Limits to other valid range like [-200,1200]
The sample values range is BAD
And, the result is some kind of Non-Sin Wave
If I change the Measurement type to Voltage.
The sample values range is based on the Max/Min Limits.
=> So it is OK
P.S.
I check with other Simulated Device - PXIe-4303.
The sample values range is based on the Max/Min Limits.
=> So it is OK

Hi Razzik,
I looked for the PXIe 4535 and I think you meant 4353. And this is an expected behavior. Since this is an input module and is a simulated device, there is a generated signal just to simulate and measure a defult value. the module is not acutally reading real data since there is no input.
I did what you said and had the same result, as expected.

Hi,
1st you are right...it was PXIe-4353 Tnx 🙂
2nd
It is expected to be a Sin Wave as a simulation of an input.
But it is not expected to have a Bad value range.
The RANGE is the main problem.

Hi,
razzik,
We really appreciate your concern and feedback. NI really takes value on you feedback, I would like you to share this Idea with R&D, who monitors closely this forum. This will help us improve our software on the next versions.
Have a great day! 😄
