National Instruments 780320-02 PCI Oscilloscope

The National Instruments 780320-02 is the part number describing the variation of the PCI-5154 PCI Oscilloscope that has 64 MB of onboard memory per channel. The two simultaneously sampled channels of the oscilloscope feature BNC connectors, optimizing connectivity for a variety of testing scenarios. With 64 megabytes of memory for each channel, the device can achieve a maximum number of 100,000 records.

Many of the user-friendly features of the 780320-02 are made possible with the support of the IVI-compliant NI-SCOPE driver. This driver allows the user to control, calibrate, and configure the different specifications of the oscilloscope with ease. NI-SCOPE offers documentation, programming interfaces, and examples for a wide range of application development environments, including LabWindows, Microsoft Visual C/C++, LabVIEW, .NET, and Measurement Studio.

When used with 64-bit systems, the NI-SCOPE driver of the 780320-02 utilizes the InstrumentStudio front panel application from NI. This application is software-based and allows the user to control, record, and monitor different measurements from one convenient location.

The 780320-02 should only be operated in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 45 °C, and within a noncondensing relative humidity range of 10% to 90%. When in storage, however, the oscilloscope can safely withstand a wider temperature range spanning from -40 °C to 71 °C. For storage conditions, the 780320-02 should be kept in a noncondensing relative humidity range of 5% to 95%. This compact device has dimensions of 35.5 cm × 2.0 cm × 11.3 cm (14.0 in × 0.8 in × 4.4 in) and weighs a total of 439 g (15.5 oz).
