Description
The PXI-5142 model is a highly versatile oscilloscope module designed for a wide range of applications. This model comes with part numbers 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01, catering to different memory size needs with options of 256 MB for the 779587-02 and 64 MB for the 779587-01. The device features two channels, making it suitable for dual-signal testing environments.
It boasts a bandwidth of up to 40 MHz, enabling it to accurately capture signals within this frequency range. The PXI-5142 offers a sampling rate of 100 MS/s, ensuring precise and high-resolution signal acquisition. Users have the flexibility to select the input impedance, with programmable options of 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, to match the requirements of various test scenarios.
The input range of the device is 200 mV to 20 V, allowing it to accommodate a wide spectrum of signal amplitudes. One of the key features of this model is its Onboard Signal Processing (OSP), which enhances its capability to process signals directly on the module, thus reducing data transfer loads and improving overall performance.
For software compatibility, the PXI-5142 uses NI-SCOPE driver software. It is also compatible with a variety of software packages and Application Development Environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. Configuration and setup can be easily managed through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to allow a warm-up time of 15 minutes. To maintain its accuracy and reliability, the device should undergo calibration annually or every two years, depending on the usage. The PXI-5142 is lightweight, weighing in at 16.2 oz, making it an easily integrable component in any PXI-based system.
