Description
The National Instruments PXI-5122 Oscilloscope is a high-performance digitizer designed for a wide range of applications. It offers a digitizer speed of 100 MS/s and a resolution of 14-bit, providing precise measurements and high-quality signal representation.
It comes with multiple memory options, including 8 MB, 32 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB per channel, allowing users to select the appropriate memory size for their specific application needs. The oscilloscope boasts a Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of 75 dBc and a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 62 dB, ensuring clear and accurate signal analysis.
The input impedance is software selectable between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, providing flexibility for different types of signal sources. The input range of 200 mVpp to 20 Vpp allows for a wide variety of signal amplitudes to be measured accurately. With seven trigger modes, the PXI-5122 is versatile and can adapt to various signal conditions for effective data capture.
The front panel features 3 BNC female connectors, 1 9-pin mini-circular DIN connector, and 2 SMB jacks, offering a variety of connection options for different test setups. The oscilloscope is compatible with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and NI-SCOPE driver software, providing a flexible and user-friendly software environment for data analysis and instrument control.
Designed for use in a wide range of temperatures, it operates within a 0 to 55 °C temperature range. The oscilloscope is self-calibrated but also supports external calibration, which is recommended at least once every two years, to ensure continued accuracy and performance. A recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is suggested for optimal performance.
