Description
The PCI-5102 (Part Number 183612A-01 (777304-01)) falls under the category of PC-based Oscilloscopes/Digitizers, designed to offer advanced features for data acquisition and signal analysis. This model boasts two channels, accommodating a variety of measurement needs.
It features an impressive sampling rate of 20 MS/s, with an analog input bandwidth of up to 15 MHz. This makes it suitable for capturing fast transient events with high fidelity. The input voltage range is quite flexible, from ±50 mV to ±5 Volts, and can be extended up to ±50 V when used with attenuating probes, providing versatility in handling a wide range of signals.
The device allows for software-selectable AC or DC coupling, enhancing its adaptability to different types of signals. At its core, the PCI-5102 utilizes 8-bit, 20 MS/s flash ADCs for analog-to-digital conversion, ensuring rapid and accurate data capture.
Furthermore, with the capability of an effective sampling rate of up to 1 GS/s when using Random Interleaved Sampling (RIS), it significantly enhances the ability to analyze high-speed repetitive signals. The onboard memory is substantial, capable of storing approximately 663,000 samples, which allows for extended data logging sessions without the need for frequent data offloads.
The accompanying driver software, NI-DMM, simplifies integration and development, providing a robust software framework for custom applications. Offering multiple triggering options, including hysteresis values, programmable trigger thresholds, bi-level triggering, and trigger hold-off, the PCI-5102 is highly configurable, meeting the requirements of complex experimental setups.
Its compact dimensions, 4.2 x 6.87 inches, ensure that it can be easily integrated into a variety of PC-based systems without consuming excessive space. Despite its advanced features, it has been announced as obsolete, indicating that it may no longer be in active production
