Description
The PXI-5142 is a high-performance oscilloscope that comes with part numbers 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01. This device stands out for its versatility and precision in capturing and analyzing electrical signals. It is equipped with 2 channels, allowing for simultaneous observation of multiple signals. The oscilloscope boasts a significant bandwidth of up to 40 MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Depending on the model, the memory size varies, with 256 MB available on the 779587-02 model and 64 MB on the 779587-01 model, ensuring ample storage for complex waveforms and long-duration signals. The sample rate of 100 MS/s further enhances its capability to capture fast-changing signals with high fidelity.
One of the key features of the PXI-5142 is its programmable input impedance, which can be set to either 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, providing flexibility for various signal sources. The input ranges are also versatile, ranging from 200 mV to 20 V, accommodating a broad spectrum of signal amplitudes.
The oscilloscope includes Onboard Signal Processing (OSP), enabling sophisticated signal analysis directly on the device. It is supported by the NI-SCOPE driver software, which facilitates integration and control through software. For development, it is compatible with several Application Development Environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, offering a flexible platform for creating custom applications.
Configuration and management of the device are streamlined through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool, enhancing the user experience. To ensure optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is advised. The oscilloscope requires calibration periodically, either annually or every two years, to maintain accuracy. Lastly, the device is relatively lightweight at 16.2 oz, making it easy to incorporate into various setups.
