Description
The National Instruments PXIe-5170 High-Density Oscilloscope is a sophisticated instrument designed for a wide range of applications. It belongs to the product line of National Instruments and is identified by part numbers 783690-01 and 783691-01. This oscilloscope features 8 simultaneously-sampled calibrated analog input channels, offering a broad scope for data acquisition and analysis.
With a 14-bit resolution, the PXIe-5170 provides high precision in measurements, allowing for detailed observation of the waveforms. The oscilloscope operates at a sample rate of 250 Msample/sec, enabling it to capture rapid signals efficiently. Depending on the application requirements, it supports a configurable bandwidth of either 100 or 250 MHz.
The input channels can be coupled either as AC or DC, providing flexibility in signal testing. The input voltage range spans from 200 mVpp to 5 Vpp, accommodating a variety of signal amplitudes. Additionally, it includes 8 programmable digital I/O lines for extended functionality, such as triggering and protocol-based communications.
Speaking of communications, this oscilloscope supports popular serial protocols such as I2C and SPI, facilitating interaction with a wide array of digital devices and systems. The PXI-Express Interface employs a Gen2 x8 configuration, capable of streaming data at a rate of 3.2 GB/sec over the PXI-Bus, ensuring swift data transfer and processing.
The core of its processing capabilities lies within the Xilinx Kintex 7 FPGA, a high-performance programmable logic device that allows for custom application development and signal processing. For software interfacing, the oscilloscope is compatible with LabVIEW and various HDL tools, enabling users to develop sophisticated test and measurement systems with ease.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, the oscilloscope requires forced-air cooling. Users are
