Description
The PXI-5142 is a high-performance oscilloscope with a range of specifications tailored for precise measurements and analysis. This model has multiple part numbers, including 195003E-01L, 779587-02, and 779587-01, indicating variations in memory and possibly other features.
Each channel of the PXI-5142 can be equipped with either 64 MB of memory (Part Number: 779587-01) or 256 MB (Part Number: 779587-02), providing flexibility in data storage and manipulation. The device features two channels, allowing for simultaneous measurements of different signals.
With a bandwidth of up to 40 MHz and a sample rate of 100 MS/s, the PXI-5142 is capable of capturing fast transient signals with high fidelity. Its input impedance is programmable, offering selections between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ to match a wide range of signal sources.
The input voltage range spans from 200 mV to 20 V, accommodating signals of various amplitudes. Additionally, the device boasts Onboard Signal Processing (OSP), which includes features such as quadrature digital down-conversion (DDC), true digital down-conversion, and anti-alias filtering, enhancing the quality of signal analysis.
Software compatibility is extensive, supporting NI-SCOPE driver software and integration with popular development environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. Configuration and management of the device are facilitated through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.
Before reaching optimal performance, the PXI-5142 requires a warm-up time of 15 minutes. To maintain accuracy, a calibration period is recommended annually or every two years. The unit weighs 16
