Description
The PXI-5620 is a high-performance RF Digitizer, belonging to a sophisticated category of measuring equipment designed for a wide range of applications. This model is recognized by its part numbers 778282-01 and 778282-02, making it identifiable for procurement and support purposes.
This digitizer is also known as the Scarab Module, which comes with an impressive 64 MEG of memory. It boasts a high 14-Bit resolution, ensuring detailed and accurate data acquisition for the users. The PXI-5620 offers a flexible sample rate range from 1 kS to 64 MS/s, accommodating various signal speeds and enhancing its versatility in different experimental setups.
The device’s bandwidth extends from 10 kHz to 36 MHz at a -3 dB cut-off, suitable for capturing a wide range of frequencies. Another notable feature is its Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of 80 dB, indicating its ability to measure signal amplitude accurately without distortion caused by spurious signals.
When it comes to memory, the PXI-5620 is equipped with 8 MS of onboard memory with Digital Down-Conversion (DDC) and 16 MS without DDC, providing ample space for data storage and manipulation. The module also includes front panel connectors such as 2 SMA (INPUT and REF CLK IN), 1 SMB (PFI1), offering connectivity options for input signals and reference clocks.
Its triggering capabilities are quite comprehensive, featuring analog hysteresis, analog window, analog edge, digital edge, and software triggers, allowing for precise control over data acquisition timing.
Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the PXI-5620 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for existing users and facilities relying on this critical piece of
