Description
The NI PXI-5152 is a high-performance digitizer that forms part of the PXI Oscilloscopes/Digitizers category. Its part number is 196638D-02L, indicating its specific model and configuration within the product range. This model, PXI-5152, is designed to meet demanding data acquisition requirements, offering a powerful blend of speed, bandwidth, and memory.
Key to its performance is an analog bandwidth of 300 MHz, making it suitable for capturing high-speed signals with accuracy and fidelity. The digitizer boasts a real-time sample rate of 2 Gigasamples per second (GS/s), complemented by an equivalent time sample rate of 20 GS/s. This high sampling rate ensures that even the most transient of signals can be captured and analyzed with precision.
One of the PXI-5152’s standout features is its onboard memory per channel. It can be configured with up to 256 megabytes (MB) of memory, supporting variations of 8 MB (779772-01), 64 MB (779772-02), and 256 MB (779772-03). This flexibility in memory allocation allows users to tailor the digitizer’s performance to specific application needs, whether for brief, high-intensity data captures or longer, more sustained data acquisition sessions.
The PXI-5152 can accommodate a maximum channel count of up to 34 phase synchronous 1 GS/s channels, providing a robust solution for applications requiring multiple channels of data acquisition without sacrificing sampling integrity. Its sampling mode, Real-Time Interleaved Sampling (TIS), is designed to optimize the system’s overall sampling efficiency and data throughput.
As of December 30, 2022, the PXI-5152 entered its maintenance phase start date, signifying ongoing support and maintenance for this model. This ensures that users can continue to rely on the PXI-5152 for their data acquisition needs, benefiting from its exceptional performance and versatility in a wide range of applications
