National Instruments 779587-01 PXI Oscilloscope

Part number 779587-01 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the version of the PXI-5142 PXI Oscilloscope that has 64 MB of onboard memory per channel. With advanced features and versatile capabilities, the 779587-01 makes it easy to capture and analyze signals. The two analog input channels featured on the oscilloscope are simultaneously sampled, allowing the devices to easily capture data from both channels in the same instant. The channels feature BNC connectors, offering strong and secure connections for a variety of testing scenarios.

Capturing high-resolution signals is a breeze with the 779587-01 PXI oscilloscope, which has a sample rate of 32 MS for each channel. The onboard memory of the device holds a maximum of 100,000 records, and it boasts a bandwidth of 100 MHz. The sample clock can be sourced either internally or externally. The internal source is an internal VCXO onboard clock, while the external sources are either a SMB connector on the front panel (CLK IN) or a PXI start trigger connector found on the backplane of the oscilloscope.

Accuracy and reliability are two of the most important considerations for the 779587-01, which is why it offers two convenient options for calibration. A software controlled self-calibration option is included for this PXI oscilloscope, which is an ideal choice for correcting gain, triggering, offset, etc. The second option is external calibration, which is recommended for every 2 years and is the best choice for calibrating the voltage reference and VCXO of the device.

Physically, the 779587-01 measures dimensions of 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm (8.5 in × 0.8 in × 5.1 in) and weighs in at 459 g (16.2 oz).
