Description
The PXIe-5186 is a high-performance PXI Oscilloscope/Digitizer featuring part numbers 782058-01 and 782058-02. This advanced instrument offers an impressive sampling rate of 250 GS/s Random Interleaved Sampling (RIS), making it suitable for capturing fast, transient signals with high fidelity. With a maximum bandwidth of 5 GHz and a bandwidth of 500 MHz on a 1 MΩ path, it ensures broad signal coverage from low frequencies up to microwave bands.
The PXIe-5186 provides a versatile input range from 110 mVpk-pk to 10 Vpk-pk, accommodating a wide variety of signal amplitudes. Users have the flexibility to select between 50 Ω or 1 MΩ input impedance, allowing for optimal matching with various signal sources. In terms of memory, it offers two options: 32 MB or 1 GB onboard memory, enabling extensive data capture and analysis capabilities.
Equipped with two 8-bit channels, the PXIe-5186 ensures detailed signal analysis with a high sampling rate of up to 12.5 GS/s per channel. This feature allows for precise time-domain observations and analysis. Moreover, it boasts exceptional timing and synchronization capabilities, with less than 10 ps between channels of multiple oscilloscopes, facilitating accurate multi-channel measurements.
Another notable feature is its self-calibration functionality, available for DC gain and offset drifts. This ensures ongoing accuracy and reliability of measurements, especially critical in environments where temperature fluctuations occur. Speaking of temperature, the PXIe-5186 operates accurately within an expanded temperature range, exceeding 18 °C to 28 °C, ensuring dependable performance under various conditions.
Finally, it features an interactive soft front panel, complete with a comprehensive range of measurements, trigger modes, and settings. This user-friendly interface enhances the ease of use and flexibility, making the PXIe-5186 an ideal solution for demanding applications that require high-speed, accurate data acquisition and analysis.
