Description
The National Instruments PCI-5142 is a high-performance PC-based oscilloscope/digitizer that delivers powerful features for a variety of applications. This model boasts a 14-bit resolution, ensuring precise and accurate measurements. It is equipped with two channels, offering the flexibility to monitor and analyze multiple signals simultaneously.
The oscilloscope operates with a 100 MHz bandwidth and includes an Intermediate Frequency (IF) bandwidth of 40 MHz, suitable for a wide range of signal analysis tasks. Users have the option to select between 64 MB and 256 MB of memory per channel, catering to both standard and more demanding data acquisition needs.
Featuring a digitizer rate of 100 Mega Samples per second (MS/s) and a maximum sampling rate of up to 2 Giga Samples per second (GS/s), the PCI-5142 is capable of capturing fast transient events with high fidelity. The input impedance is software selectable between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, providing versatility in connecting a wide range of signal sources.
The voltage range that can be accommodated spans from 200 millivolts (mV) to 20 volts (V), enabling the analysis of both low and high-amplitude signals. With the capability to store more than a half-million onboard memory waveforms, this oscilloscope/digitizer allows for extensive data recording and analysis.
Multiple triggering modes are available, enhancing the instrument’s adaptability to complex signal environments. Its form factor includes both PCI and USB connectivity options, ensuring easy integration with a variety of computer systems. The product is available in two part numbers: 779589-01 for the 64 MB version and 779589-02 for the 256 MB version, allowing users to select the memory option that best fits their requirements.
