Overview
Triggering, Clocking, and Synchronization
National Instruments 5124 high-resolution digitizers feature two
200 MS/s simultaneously sampled input channels with 12-bit
resolution, 150 MHz bandwidth, and up to 512 MB of memory per
channel in a 3U PXI or PCI module. NI 5124 devices use the highspeed PCI bus and the scatter-gather bus mastering of the NI MITE
ASIC to move data to the computer at speeds up to 100 times faster
than traditional instrument interfaces, thereby dramatically
decreasing overall test time. With the Synchronization and Memory
Core (SMC) architecture of an NI 5124, you can create mixed-signal
systems using signal generators and digital waveform
generators/analyzers or build a high-channel-count digitizer with
sub-nanosecond synchronization between channels.
• Edge, window, hysteresis, video, digital, triggering with
50 ps timestamping
• Pre and posttrigger acquisition in single and multiple-record mode
• Internal 200 MHz clock or external clock from 50 to 210 MHz
• Phase lock to PXI 10 MHz reference or external reference from
1 to 20 MHz
Dual 200 MS/s, 12-Bit Input Channels
for Time and Frequency Analysis
• 150 MHz input bandwidth with antialias and noise filters
• >75 dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR)
• 4.0 GS/s equivalent time sampling for repetitive signals
• Independent channel selectable 200 mVpp to 20 Vpp input ranges
• Independent channel selectable 50 Ω or 1 MΩ input impedance
• 2-year calibration cycle and 0 to 55 ˚C operating temperature
Software
• IVI-compliant NI-SCOPE driver for
LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and
Microsoft C++ and Visual Basic with
more than 50 built-in measurements
• Scope Soft Front Panel
for interactive control
• Spectral Measurements Toolkit
for sophisticated frequency-domain
measurements in communications,
signal intelligence, and
avionics applications
