Description
The PXI Oscilloscope/Digitizer, identified by the model number PXI-5142, is a sophisticated instrument designed for a wide range of applications. It is available under part numbers 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01, each catering to specific memory size requirements. The 195003E-01L and 779587-01 variants come equipped with 64 MB of memory per channel, whereas the 779587-02 variant boasts a larger memory capacity of 256 MB, enhancing its capability to handle more extensive data.
This high-performance device features two channels and supports a maximum data transmission rate of 40 MHz. It is capable of a sampling rate of 100 MS/s, making it suitable for capturing fast signals with high fidelity. Users have the flexibility to select the input impedance, which is programmable to either 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, depending on the requirements of the application. Additionally, the input range of this device spans from 200 mV to 20 V, allowing for a wide variety of signal amplitudes to be measured accurately.
An important feature of the PXI-5142 is its Onboard Signal Processing (OSP) capability, which enhances signal analysis efficiency. It is compatible with several software options including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. For configuration, the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool is recommended, which facilitates easy setup and management of the device.
For optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is advised. To maintain its precision, the device should be calibrated annually or every two years. It has compact physical dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches and weighs 16.2 oz, making it both portable and easy to integrate into various setups. The operating temperature range is from 0 °C to 45 °C, and it can be stored
