The NI PXI Oscilloscope Bundles

The modular PXI platform is the industry standard for helping automated test and measurement systems achieve higher accuracy, productivity, and speed. To assist users with getting the most out of their instrumentation, NI provides PXI oscilloscope bundles: prepackaged combinations of a chassis, module, and accessories. This post will take a closer look at each bundle! 

These PXI oscilloscope bundles from NI are perfect for creating high-performance, mixed-measurement systems. Each one includes the 5 Hybrid-Slot PXIe-1083 chassis, which allows up to four additional slots that can be synchronized with various instruments. The PXIe-1083 chassis has a maximum system bandwidth of 2 GB/s and a slot cooling capacity of 58 W. In addition to the chassis, each PXI oscilloscope bundle comes with a selection of accessories meant to optimize the capabilities of the chassis and the included module.

Bundle number: PXIe-SCP5100 


Included Module: The PXIe-SCP5100 bundle pairs the PXIe-1083 chassis with the PXIe-5105– a high-resolution digitizer that boasts 8 60 MS/s concurrently checked voltage input channels with 12-bit resolution. The PXIe-5105 digitizer is capable of 60 MHz of bandwidth and up to 128 MB of local memory. 

Additional Accessories: The PXIe-SCP5100 bundle is a comprehensive package that includes two coaxial SMB Female to Mini-Alligator clip cables, perfect for seamless connectivity. Additionally, it comes with a US power cable ensuring efficient power supply. Moreover, the bundle also offers a Thunderbolt cable which allows users to effortlessly control their PXI system remotely from their laptop or desktop.

Bundle number: PXIe-SCP5101 


Included Module: The PXIe-SCP5101 features the PXIe-5110 oscilloscope, which utilizes a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz with a sampling rate of up to 1 GS/s. The oscilloscope has 2 voltage input channels, with an analog input resolution of 8 Bits and an analog input voltage range of -20 V to 20 V.

Additional Accessories: The PXIe-SCP5101 bundle includes two single-ended passive SP500X oscilloscope probes, which are capable of measuring 500 MHz of frequency. It also includes a Thunderbolt cable and a US power cable. 

Bundle number: PXIe-SCP5102


Included module: The PXIe-SCP5102 bundle includes the PXIe-5111. This oscilloscope includes a PXIe bus connection and is equipped with 2 voltage input channels with 8 bits of resolution. The PXIe-5111 has a  maximum sampling rate of 3 GS/s,  and a maximum bandwidth of 350 MHz. The PXIe-5111 offers an impedance of 50 Ohm or 1 MOhm, and it supports a voltage range of -20 V to 20 V. 

Additional Accessories: Similar to the PXIe-SCP5101, the PXIe-SCP5102 bundle includes 2 SP500X probes, a US power cable, and a Thunderbolt cable. 

Bundle number: PXIe-SCP5103


Included module: Falling in line with the previous two bundles, the PXIe-SCP5103 features the PXIe-5113 PXI oscilloscope. The PXIe-5113 shares many similarities with the PXIe-5111, but differs with it’s maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz. Signals can be triggered by the NI PXIe-5113 in a number of operational modes, and it provides superior PXI cable synchronization. 

Additional Accessories: Like the previous bundle, a Thunderbolt cable,  2 SP500X probes, and a US power cable round out the PXIe-SCP5103 bundle.

Bundle number: PXIe-SCP5104


Included module: The PXIe-SCP5104 bundle pairs the PXIe-5172 high-density oscilloscope with the PXIe-1083 chassis. The PXIe-1083 sets up NI hardware by using Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). The oscilloscope is compact, powerful, and adaptable by design. It boasts features such as low-control, high-resolution ADCs and low-cost consumption of Xilinx vitality.

Additional Accessories: The accessories paired with the PXIe-SCP5104 bundle are 2 SMB Female to Mini-Alligator Clip cables, a Thunderbolt cable, and a US power cable. 

Bundle number: PXIe-SCP5105


Included module: The PXIe-5162 is the focus of the PXIe-SCP5105 bundle. This adaptable oscilloscope/digitizer has 4 input channels, each of which can reach a sample rate of 5 GS/s. The PXIe-5162 is equipped with a large onboard memory to handle big data sets and features 10 bits of resolution. With a max bandwidth of 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of memory, it is capable of handling projects of all sizes. 

Additional Accessories: In addition to the US power cable and the Thunderbolt cable, the PXIe-SCP5105 bundle pairs the module and chassis with 4 SP500X oscilloscope probes. 

Each of these PXI oscilloscope bundles has been curated to provide the perfect starting place for upgrading a variety of systems. The additional chassis slots can be filled with additional oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, counters/timers, waveform instruments, SMUs, FPGAs, switches, additional power supplies, LCR meters, multifunction IOs, etc. The possibilities the modular design provides are endless!
