National Instruments 782621-01 PXI Oscilloscope

The 782621-01 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the variation of the PXIe-5160 Oscilloscope that has 64 MB of onboard memory. Equipped with 2 simultaneously sampled channels, the 782621-01 integrates features of both an oscilloscope and a digitizer into a singular versatile module. With 10 bits of resolution, this oscilloscope provides a solid performance for a wide range of testing applications. Accurate measurements are a breeze with the device’s 500 MHz of bandwidth.

The 2 analog input channels of the 782621-01 are referenced single-ended, featuring BNC connectors. High-speed signal acquisition and synchronization are facilitated by two sample clock sources- either internal (via an onboard clock) or external (via the SMB connector on the front panel). The device has a maximum sampling rate of 2.5 GS/s.

The IVI-compliant NI-SCOPE driver is an incredibly useful asset for the 782621-01, as it provides a wide variety of interfaces for application programming. These include Microsoft Visual C / C++, LabWindows, .NET, LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio. For 64 bit computers, the software-based InstrumentStudio is a valuable tool for interacting with measurements from a single program. For computer systems with 32 bits, the NI-SCOPE specific soft panel should be used.

Physically, the 782621-01 is built to withstand a variety of environmental conditions. With dimensions of 21.4 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.1 cm (8.4 in. × 0.8 in. × 5.1 in.), the compact oscilloscope is easily integrated into test setups of various sizes. The operating temperature of the device ranges from 0 °C to 45 °C, while it has a much broader storage temperature range of -40 °C to 71 °C. The 782621-01 can be used in altitudes up to 2,000m and weighs 430 g (15 oz.).
