Description
The PCI-5911 is a high-performance PC-based oscilloscope/digitizer part number 183840F-02. It falls under the category of PC-based Oscilloscopes/Digitizers and is described as a CCA, PCI-5911. This device offers a substantial bandwidth of 100 MHz, ensuring it can handle a wide range of signals with ease.
When it comes to resolution and speed, the PCI-5911 delivers 8 bits at 100 MS/s and 21 bits at 10 kS/s, providing flexibility for both high-speed and high-resolution applications. Its sampling rate is impressive, with 100 MS/s in real-time and up to 1 GS/s in random interleaved mode, making it suitable for a variety of demanding applications.
The onboard memory capacity varies, offering either 4 or 16 MB, which allows for extended data acquisition sessions without the need for constant data offloading. For connectivity, it features several front panel connectors, including BNC, SMB, and a 9-pin mini-circular DIN, providing a range of options for signal input and triggering.
Triggering can be accomplished through software, analog, or digital sources, giving users flexibility in setting up their measurements. Software compatibility is broad, with support for LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, Microsoft C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic, ensuring it can be integrated into a wide variety of software environments.
Before use, a warm-up time of 15 minutes is recommended to ensure accurate measurements. For maintenance, self-calibration is recommended, and external calibration is recommended annually to maintain precision. The physical dimensions of the PCI-5911 are 13.3 x 3.9 inches, making it a compact solution for many setups. Lastly, it operates effectively within a temperature range of 5 °C to 40 °C, catering to standard laboratory and field environments.
