Scope offers 2-Gsample/s real-time performance
-- Test & Measurement World, 8/9/2006 10:58:00 AM
National Instruments announced today at its NIWeek event that its new NI PXI-5152 general-purpose digitizer/oscilloscope extends the company’s digitizer offering to 2 Gsample/s by providing a 1-Gsample/s real-time sampling rate on two simultaneous channels or 2 Gsample/s on one channel at 8-bit resolution. For repetitive signals, engineers can use the module’s equivalent-time sampling (ETS) mode to sample at up to 20 Gsample/s.

The module features 300-MHz bandwidth and ranges from 100 mV to 10 V with 50-ohm and 1-megohm software-selectable input impedance. Onboard memory extends to 512 MB. In addition, engineers can synchronize multiple PXI-5152 modules using National Instruments T-Clock technology for building systems with up to 34 channels in a single PXI chassis with sampling at 1 Gsample/s and synchronized to picosecond-level accuracy among the modules.
Engineers can integrate the new PXI-5152 module with a variety of NI hardware including arbitrary waveform generators and digital waveform generator/analyzers to build a complete custom mixed-signal application. The module also works with all National Instruments software, including NI LabView, as well as other common development environments such as C, Microsoft C++, and Visual Basic.
Base price: $4,999.
