Description
The PXIe-5186 oscilloscope/digitizer is a highly advanced piece of equipment, featuring part numbers 782058-01 and 782058-02. This device falls under the category of PXI Oscilloscopes/Digitizers, highlighting its versatility and high functionality within the field.
When it comes to performance, the PXIe-5186 boasts an impressive sampling rate of 250 GS/s Random Interleaved Sampling (RIS) range, with a standard sampling rate of 12.5 GS/s. This allows for the capture of high-speed signals with great precision. Furthermore, it offers a maximum bandwidth of 5 GHz, and when utilizing a 1 MΩ path, the bandwidth available is 500 MHz.
The input range of the PXIe-5186 is quite flexible, ranging from 110 mVpk-pk to 10 Vpk-pk, accommodating a wide variety of signal strengths. Moreover, it supports an input impedance of either 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, providing versatility in connection and signal integrity. The device also comes equipped with onboard memory options of either 32 MB or 1 GB, allowing for extensive data capture and storage.
Designed for complex measurement tasks, the PXIe-5186 features two, 8-bit channel digitizers. This dual-channel capability enables simultaneous acquisition of signals, enhancing the device’s efficiency and application range. Additionally, it achieves timing and synchronization of less than 10 ps between channels of multiple oscilloscopes, ensuring precise measurements across multiple devices.
One of the PXIe-5186’s standout features is its self-calibration capability, which maintains accuracy and stability at operating temperatures beyond the standard 18 °C to 28 °C range. This ensures reliable performance even under varying environmental conditions
