High-resolution digitiser for PXI Express

25 July 2007 Test & Measurement

The National Instruments PXIe-5122 high-resolution digitiser is an x4 PXI Express module that can stream data at the full data rate of 400 MBps to the PC memory, hard disk, or RAID 0 array of disks.

This digitiser samples two channels simultaneously with 14-bit resolution at 100 MSps realtime, 2 GSps equivalent-time, or control from external clocks. A deep onboard memory of up to 256 MB per channel provides the ability to acquire more than 1 million waveforms. It features analog bandwidth of 100 MHz with noise and anti-alias filters, as well as software-selectable 50 Ω or 1 MΩ input with ranges from 200 mV to 20 V, and is suitable for both time- and frequency-domain analysis.

This digitiser is ideal for applications such as signal intelligence, radar, and IF/RF data streaming. With its broad range of functionality, it is also suited for automotive, communications, scientific research, military/aerospace, and consumer electronics applications. More than 50 built-in measurement and analysis functions are programmed directly from the driver and can be expanded to more than 400 with NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
