Description
The PXIe-5162 oscilloscope/digitizer is a versatile and powerful instrument designed for various applications within the PXI platform. It comes with part numbers 782622-01, 782622-05, and 782622-06, indicating different configurations or options available for this model.
This model falls under the category of PXI Oscilloscopes/Digitizers, showcasing its dual role in capturing and analyzing signals. The PXIe-5162 is equipped with 2 channels, with the capacity to expand up to 4 channels by adjusting the sample rate accordingly. This flexibility allows users to tailor the device to their specific measurement needs.
It boasts an impressive sample rate of up to 5 GS/s when operating in single-channel mode, which reduces to 2.5 GS/s or 1.25 GS/s when utilizing 2 or 4 channels, respectively. This high sample rate is complemented by a bandwidth of 1.5 GHz on the 50 Ω path and 300 MHz on the 1 MΩ path, enabling it to handle a wide range of frequencies with precision.
The PXIe-5162 is designed with deep onboard memory, facilitating prolonged data acquisition sessions without the need for constant data offloading. This feature, combined with a data throughput greater than 600 MB/s, ensures efficient operation and analysis of collected data.
Connectivity is achieved through a PCI Express x4 Gen 1 interface to the PXI Express backplane, providing a robust and high-speed connection to the host computer or PXI chassis. Moreover, the device supports NI-TClk, enabling synchronized multi-module operation for complex setups requiring precise timing alignment across multiple instruments.
The PXIe-5162 oscilloscope/digitizer is ideal for a broad range of use cases, including time and frequency domain measurements. Its versatility and performance make it a valuable tool for engineers and scientists who require high-quality signal acquisition and analysis capabilities within the PXI platform.
