High-Speed Digitizers – Optimized for Automated Test NI High-Speed Digitizers: Optimized for Automated Test Prior to these products, high-bandwidth digitizers and oscilloscopes have incorporated features and functionality best suited for benchtop use. An unaddressed area in this high-bandwidth space has been the automated test use model, where measurement throughput and test system footprint can dramatically affect overall cost of test. NI high-speed digitizers are the first high-bandwidth digitizers on the market that share three characteristics making them uniquely optimized for automated test: high data throughput, tight synchronization between channels, and ease of integration with other instrumentation. Tight Synchronization between Channels The PXI backplane offers a built-in common reference clock for synchronization of multiple digitizers in a measurement or control system. Each slot has a 10 MHz TTL clock, transmitted on equal-length traces, providing picosecond-level synchronization between digitizer modules for high-channel-count systems. For example, it is possible to have 34 phase-synchronous 1 GS/s channels in a single PXI chassis, and even scale to higher channel counts. High Data Throughput Bus bandwidth and latency, two common considerations for an automated test system, dictate the overall speed of your measurement system. Latency describes the amount of time it takes for an instrument to respond to a remote command, like a measurement query. Bus bandwidth refers primarily to the data throughput capacity of the data bus that connects the measurement instrument with the host PC or controller. The PXI platform – upon which NI high-speed digitizers are built – provides high speed due to the high-bandwidth and low-latency PCI and PCI Express buses. Both PXI and PXI Express data throughput rates are significantly faster than that of GPIB, USB, or LAN – other popular buses for automating test instrumentation. This translates to lower test times. Figure 2. The PXI platform delivers picosecond-level synchronization between instrument modules. Ease of Integration with Other Instrumentation Test systems typically contain many instrument types, including signal sources, measurement devices, and switches. The PXI platform has unparalleled breadth, with modules for analog and digital I/O, highspeed instrumentation, vision, motion, and numerous bus interfaces. More than 1,500 PXI modules are available from the more than 70 members of the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA). So you can not only build a comprehensive test system in a single chassis but also synchronize modules in that chassis to picosecond-level accuracy when using NI modular instrumentation. Figure 1. The PXI platform provides the best combination of high-bandwidth and low-latency measurement throughput. Figure 3. The PXI platform supports more than 1,500 instrument modules.

With an NI digitizer, you can not only perform standard oscilloscope measurements but also easily build other instruments such as spectrum analyzers, transient recorders, and ultrasonic receivers. And NI offers a comprehensive library in LabVIEW of prebuilt functions and example programs geared at getting you up and running quickly. For rapid initiation of an automated test sequence, use preconfigured Express VIs to quickly set up your digitizer to immediately acquire data. LabVIEW SignalExpress is an interactive environment you can use to acquire, analyze, and log your data with no programming required. Open Architecture: NI-SCOPE Driver and the Application Programming Interface (API) Using the full power of a PC-based measurement device requires the ability to programmatically define and control its behavior. You can programmatically control all NI digitizers using the NI-SCOPE instrument driver, which provides: • High-level functions for getting started quickly as well as low-level control for accessing all the digitizer features • More than 50 prewritten example programs that illustrate how to access the full functionality of any NI digitizer • Programming examples available for LabVIEW, C++, and Visual Basic Flexible Software: Define Your Instrument In an automated test environment, there are times when the ability to quickly troubleshoot an issue is crucial. For those occasions, the NI-SCOPE driver offers the measurement features and responsiveness of a traditional benchtop oscilloscope through the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel user interface. Take advantage of the more than 50 prebuilt measurement and analysis functions included with the software. Figure 5. With LabVIEW SignalExpress, you can quickly set up your digitizer to immediately acquire data. While a quick signal check is valuable at times, other circumstances may call for custom measurements. Stand-alone instrumentation, such as dedicated oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, delivers common functions that appeal to the needs of many engineers. As you can imagine, these standard functions do not meet every application need, particularly in automated test applications. But with LabVIEW and the NI-SCOPE API, the digitizer that you use as a general-purpose oscilloscope for one application can be used as a custom instrument for more specialized measurements. Figure 6. Custom measurements, such as those required for mass spectrometry, are enabled through the combination of LabVIEW and NI modular instruments. Figure 4. The NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel provides measurement features and responsiveness comparable to traditional benchtop oscilloscopes.
