National Instruments's NI PXI-5152 general-purpose digitiser/oscilloscope offers 2GS/s by providing a 1GS/s real-time sampling rate on two simultaneous channels or 2GS/s on one channel
For repetitive signals, engineers can use the module's equivalent-time sampling (ETS) mode to sample at up to 20GS/s.
Engineers can readily use the new module as a full-featured oscilloscope for time-domain measurements right out of the box.
Unlike with traditional oscilloscopes, engineers can configure the same PXI-5152 digitiser through software to perform custom measurements in many application areas such as semiconductor chip characterisation, ultrasonic nondestructive test (NDT), biomedical and communications.
The module features 300MHz bandwidth and ranges from 100mV to 10V with software-selectable input impedance.
With deep onboard memory up to 512MB, the module can make long acquisitions or store a large number of records in the multirecord acquisition mode.
In addition, engineers can synchronise 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 1GS/s and synchronised to picosecond-level accuracy among the modules.
