Description
The PXI-5142 is a high-performance digitizer featuring part numbers 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01. This model is equipped with 2 channels, allowing for the simultaneous acquisition of data across multiple inputs. It supports data transmission rates up to 40 MHz, ensuring rapid data handling for efficient processing.
This digitizer offers different memory sizes based on the part number; 256 MB for the 779587-02 version and 64 MB for the 779587-01 version. With a sample rate of 100 MS/s, it provides high-speed data acquisition capabilities. The input ranges are quite versatile, spanning from 200 mV to 20 V, which accommodates a wide array of signal types.
The input impedance can be programmatically selected between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, offering flexibility for different signal conditions. Additionally, it features Onboard Signal Processing (OSP), enhancing its ability to process signals directly on the device. The NI-SCOPE driver software is used to interface with the digitizer, providing a robust set of tools for data acquisition and analysis.
It is compatible with several Application Development Environments (ADEs), including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, making it a versatile choice for various software platforms. Configuration and setup are streamlined through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool, simplifying device management.
The warm-up time for the PXI-5142 is approximately 15 minutes, and it is recommended to undergo calibration every 1 to 2 years to maintain accuracy and performance. The device weighs 16.2 oz, making it a lightweight and portable option for many test and measurement applications.
