Description
The PCI-5911 is a PC-based oscilloscope/digitizer, identified by the part number 183840-02. This specific model is designed for integration into PCI slots, and it is known as the NI 5911 for PCI board only. It offers a dynamic range of resolution and speed, providing 8 bits at 100 MS/s and 21 bits at 10 kS/s, catering to various data acquisition needs.
The model boasts a maximum real-time sampling rate of 100 MS/s, which can be extended up to 1 GS/s through random interleaved sampling. This high-speed data acquisition capability is supported by a waveform memory capacity of either 4 or 16 MB, allowing for extensive data collection and analysis.
Connectivity on the front panel includes BNC, SMB, and 9-pin mini-circular DIN connectors, providing versatile options for interfacing with various signal sources. The device is equipped with multiple trigger sources including Software, Analog, and Digital, ensuring flexibility in capturing signal events.
Data transfer is facilitated through Scatter-Gather technology, ensuring efficient and reliable movement of data. The PCI-5911 is compatible with a range of software including NI-SCOPE, LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, Microsoft C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic, offering a versatile platform for data analysis and processing.
It requires a warm-up time of 15 minutes before reaching operational stability. For maintenance, the device supports self-calibration, with an external calibration recommended yearly to ensure accuracy and performance. The physical dimensions of the PCI-5911 are 13.3 x 3.9 inches, making it a compact yet powerful tool for advanced data acquisition and analysis tasks.
