Description
The PXI-5142 is a high-performance oscilloscope that comes with part numbers 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01. This model is designed to meet a wide range of testing and measurement needs with its two-channel configuration. It boasts a maximum sampling rate of 100 MS/s, ensuring precise and accurate data capture for dynamic signals.
One of the standout features of the PXI-5142 is its onboard signal processing (OSP), which enhances data processing capabilities directly on the device. Memory options vary depending on the part number, with 256 MB available for the 779587-02 and 64 MB for the 779587-01, allowing users to choose the memory capacity that best fits their application requirements.
The input impedance is programmable, offering flexibility between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ to accommodate different signal types. The input voltage range is quite broad, spanning from 200 mV to 20 V, making this oscilloscope versatile in handling various levels of signal intensities.
Support for multiple software platforms including the NI-SCOPE driver, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio ensures that the PXI-5142 can easily integrate into existing systems and workflows. Additionally, the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) serves as a convenient configuration tool for setting up and managing the device.
To achieve optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is advised. The calibration period is suggested to be annually or every two years, depending on the usage, to maintain accuracy and reliability. The PXI-5142 is relatively lightweight at 16.2 oz and has compact dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches, making it easy to incorporate into a variety of setups without requiring significant space.
It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C, while its storage temperature range extends from -40 °C to 71 °C, ensuring durability and reliability under various environmental conditions. Special features such as PXI synchronization, data streaming, and digital down-conversion (DDC) enhance its functionality, making it a powerful tool for complex data analysis and processing tasks.
