Description
The PXIe-5160 model is a robust PXI Oscilloscope/Digitizer that comes with a variety of part numbers including 155377E-21L, alongside alternatives such as 782621-01, 782621-02, and 782621-03, with another variant being 155377A-22L. This device is engineered to support demanding applications with its 2-channel configuration and a memory capacity of 64MB.
Activation sources for the PXIe-5160 are diverse, including Analog, Digital, and Software Control, ensuring versatility for different testing scenarios. Activation detection is sophisticated, with features like Edge Thresholds, Hysteresis, and Window Activation for precise control. Moreover, it supports video by line activation for standards such as NTSC, PAL, and SECAM, enhancing its utility in video-related applications.
The device is equipped with digital triggers that include the PXI trip bus and an External 9-stick AUX connector, providing flexibility in setup and integration within test systems. Its trigger features are comprehensive, offering Pre-trigger, Post-trigger, and Multiple Recording Mode capabilities for advanced data acquisition strategies.
An advanced 100 MHz clock generator is built into the PXIe-5160, with support for an external clock source for specific sampling frequencies, ensuring precise timing for all measurements. Synchronization is seamless, using either a 10 MHz PXI reference clock or an external reference that can range from 1-20 MHz in 1 MHz increments.
The architecture of the PXIe-5160 is based on SMC (Synchronization and Memory Core), enabling the synchronization of multiple digitizers for complex, multi-channel setups. This design principle underscores the PXIe-5160’s capability to handle sophisticated and demanding measurement tasks across a broad range of applications.
