Description
The PXI-5142 is a digital oscilloscope that comes with various part numbers, including 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01. Depending on the specific part number, it offers memory options of either 256 MB (part number 779587-02) or 64 MB (part number 779587-01). This model features 2 channels and is capable of delivering a maximum bandwidth of 40 MHz. With a sampling rate of 100 MS/s, it ensures accurate data capture and analysis.
The PXI-5142 offers a flexible input impedance, allowing users to choose between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, which is programmable based on the requirements of the application. This flexibility extends to its input range, which varies from 200 mV to 20 V, accommodating a wide variety of signal levels.
One of the notable features of this oscilloscope is its Onboard Signal Processing (OSP), which enhances its performance and capability. For software integration, it supports NI-SCOPE driver software, and is compatible with popular development environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. Configuration and setup are streamlined through the use of the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.
To ensure optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is suggested before use. The manufacturer also recommends a calibration period that is either annually or every two years, to maintain accuracy and reliability. The PXI-5142 has a weight of 16.2 oz, making it a relatively lightweight addition to any test and measurement setup.
