National Instruments 782622-16 PXI Oscilloscope

National Instruments 782622-16 is the descriptive part number for the version of the PXIe-5162 PXI Oscilloscope that is equipped with CableSense™ technology and has 4 channels with 2 GB of onboard memory. The four channels of the device are simultaneously sampled, offering high-performance data acquisition from multiple channels in unison. 1.5 GHz of bandwidth and 10 bits of vertical resolution help the 782622-16 fit seamlessly into PXIe test systems of all sizes. With input coupling options for both AC and DC, this user-friendly oscilloscope boasts a selection of abilities that are software-configurable.

The 782622-16 features NI’s CableSense™ technology, which allows the device to identify and address intermittent failures within the system without cahnging connections. This helpful technology verifies the physical configuration and detects changes from a known standard using methods similar to a TDR from a real-time oscilloscope. The specifications of this technology in this context of the 782622-16 includes a nominal pulse rise time measuring 650 ps and a nominal pulse voltage of 0.5 V.

Two methods for calibration are supported by the 782622-16- external calibration and self-calibration. The external calibration option of the oscilloscope stores constants in the nonvolatile memory, and is an excellent choice for calibrating the onboard references that are used in the different external trigger lines and in self-calibration. NI recommends that the 782622-16 is externally calibrated every two years. Self-calibration, on the other hand, is achieved through software command and is a great option for correcting errors within the offset, triggering, timing, and gain settings of the input ranges.

The 782622-16 has dimensions of 21.4 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.1 cm (8.4 in. × 0.8 in. × 5.1 in.) and weighs in at a light 430 g (15 oz.).
