National Instruments 780319-03 Oscilloscope

The 780319-03 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the variation of the PXI-5154 Oscilloscope that has 256 MB of onboard memory per channel. This oscilloscope is ideal for capturing and characterizing incredibly fast speeds, making it well suited for applications that require data streaming and automated testing. The large onboard memory size of the 780319-03 allows for the device high sample rates over extended periods of data collecting.

When it comes to software programs, the 780319-03 is incredibly versatile and capable. The NI-SCOPE driver provides the oscilloscope with a wide variety of programming interfaces, allowing the user to decide on the program that is best suited to fit their needs. In addition, NI-SCOPE allows the 780319-03 to use the “Timing and Control” synchronization method. This method allows the sample clocks from various supported devices to be aligned and synchronized, ensuring that the data of the measurement system as a whole is precisely synchronized.

The 780319-03 provides two convenient calibration methods: external and self-calibration. External calibration is best suited for onboard references and external trigger levels, while self-calibration is best for correcting errors in the gain, triggering, offset, and timing of the device. Self-calibration is controlled by software.

The compact form factor of the 780319-03 measures just 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm (8.5 in × 0.8 in × 5.1 in) in dimensions, and it weighs 481 g (16.97 oz). It works best within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C with a relative humidity of 10% to 90%, while it can be stored within a temperature range of -40 °C to 71 °C.
