National Instruments 779659-01 PCI Oscilloscope

National Instruments 779659-01 is the part number for the variation of the PCI-5922 PCI Oscilloscope that has 8 MB of onboard memory per channel. These 2 analog input channels are simultaneously sampled and software selectable, featuring 2 MS of pretrigger and posttrigger samples per channel. The BNC connector type makes integration into varying setups a breeze. One of the standout features of the 779659-01 is its flexible resolution. This capability provides 24 bits of resolution for lower sample rates, with the resolution adjusting and decreasing accordingly with higher sample rates. All in all, this oscilloscope offers a wide range of adjustable features that make it a perfect choice for various data acquisition and measurement applications.

The sample clock of the 779659-01 has a sample rate that ranges from 50 kS/s to 15 MS/s, and it is sourced by an internal VCXO onboard clock. The oscilloscope utilizes a variety of trigger types, including Software, Edge, Digital, Immediate, Window, and Hysteresis. With 8 MB of onboard memory, the 779659-01 has a maximum of 13,107 records.

The 779659-01 oscilloscope is capable of both self-calibration and external calibration. The self-calibration capability is controlled by software, and is designed to correct the gain and offset, input bias current, and ADC nonlinearities. External calibration is recommended for every 2 years, and it calibrates the VCXO clock and voltage reference.

With physical dimensions measuring 35.5 cm × 2.0 cm × 11.3 cm (14.0 in × 0.8 in × 4.4 in), the compact form factor of the 779659-01 makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of test and measurement setups. The oscilloscope weighs 415 g (14.6 oz). It has an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C and can be safely stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 71 °C.
