Description
The PXI-5900 Differential Amplifier is a specialized component designed for use with the PXI-5922 Oscilloscope, bearing the part number 780166-01. This device falls under the category of PXI Oscilloscopes/Digitizers, indicating its role in enhancing the capabilities of oscilloscope modules within the PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) platform.
The PXI-5900 model features 2 input channels that support ground (GND), alternating current (AC), and direct current (DC) input coupling, offering versatility in signal measurement and analysis. These channels are complemented by an input impedance of 50 Ω ±2%, which is software-selectable, allowing for adjustments to meet various testing requirements.
Connection to the PXI-5900 is facilitated through BNC input and SMB output connectors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of test and measurement equipment. The device also boasts a vertical gain of 0.25 ±0.2%, along with a zero input offset error of 500 μV, and a passband flatness of 1 dB, highlighting its precision in signal amplification and fidelity.
One of the key features of the PXI-5900 is its common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 70 dB at 60 Hz, which demonstrates its effectiveness in minimizing noise and interference, thereby ensuring cleaner, more accurate measurements. Additionally, the device’s slew rate of 100 V/μs (referred to balanced differential input) underscores its capability to handle rapid changes in signal voltage, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
Software support for the PXI-5900 includes NI-SCOPE 3.5.1 and NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), providing users with powerful tools for device configuration, control, and data analysis. Finally, the PXI-5900’s compact
