Description
The PXI Oscilloscopes/Digitizers are represented by the model PXI-5142, which comes with several part numbers, including 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01. This model features 2 channels and offers a bandwidth of up to 40 MHz. Memory size varies depending on the specific part number, with 256 MB for part number 779587-02 and 64 MB for part number 779587-01. The sample rate reaches 100 MS/s, providing high-speed data acquisition capabilities.
The input impedance is program selectable between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, giving users flexibility in connecting various types of signals. The input range spans from 200 mV to 20 V, accommodating a wide range of signal amplitudes. Onboard signal processing (OSP) functions include quadrature digital down-conversion (DDC), true digital down-conversion, and anti-alias filtering, enhancing the quality and integrity of measured signals.
For complex setups requiring multiple devices or chassis, the PXI-5142 supports NI TClk synchronization, ensuring precise timing across all connected equipment. It is compatible with a variety of software tools, including the NI-SCOPE driver, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. Configuration and setup are facilitated by the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.
Before achieving optimal performance, the PXI-5142 requires a warm-up time of 15 minutes. This period allows the instrument to stabilize and ensures accurate and reliable measurements.
