National Instruments 784183-01 PXI Oscilloscope

Part number 784183-01 from National Instruments is the descriptive part number for the PXIe-5164 PXI Oscilloscope. Featuring two analog input channels with referenced single-ended input, this versatile oscilloscope is capable of sampling from both channels simultaneously. The 784183-01 offers high-resolution measurement capabilities, boasting 14 bits of resolution sample rates up to 1 GS/s per channel. With a reconfigurable Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA, it is a perfect choice for test and measurement applications requiring up to 400 MHz of bandwidth. The instrument driver of the PXI oscilloscope provides the oscilloscope with various data streaming and PXI synchronization capabilities.

Accurate and precise measurements are maintained with the 784183-01 through two calibration options- self calibration and external calibration. The self-calibration option for the oscilloscope is operated via software command, and it is an excellent choice for correcting issues found with the offset, gain, or interleaving spurs of the device. Self-calibration is also a useful tool for correcting errors with intermodule synchronization. The external calibration option for the 784183-01 is recommended for every 2 years. It is the optimal choice for correcting errors in timebase accuracy or in frequency responses.

The amount of power consumed by the 784183-01 depends upon the driver software and FPGA image that is used. The total power allowed under typical conditions is 25 W, while the maximum total power allowed is capped at 38.25 W.

The environmental specifications of the oscilloscope determine that it should only be operated within a temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C, and it should be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 71 °C. The 784183-01 weighs 460 g (16.2 oz) and has dimensions of 21.26 cm × 12.88 cm × 2.0 cm (8.37 in × 5.07 in × 0.787 in).
