National Instruments PCIe-5140 Digitizer

The National Instruments PCIe-5140 (part numbers: 781353-01, 782063-01) is a versatile Digitizer that is perfect for a variety of test setups. Boasting a sampling rate of 100 MS/s, this device offers incredibly accurate reproduction of analog signals. By tracking variations in electrical signals across a specified length of time, the PCIe-5140 is a valuable tool for both frequency and time-domain applications. This device includes 12 bits of resolution, providing precise measurements and improved signal fidelity to any test scenario.

Digitizers such as the PCIe-5140 are often used as building blocks within test equipment models including transient recorders, spectrum analyzers, and multichannel detection systems. This specialized DAQ device is able to effortlessly capture high-speed analog signals and transform them into digital data- making it an excellent choice for testing scenarios dealing with signal capture and analysis, radar and communications, and even fields of scientific research.

Equipped with a Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA, the device has plenty of space and power for even the most logic-intensive applications. The high-resolution power of the PCIe-5140 Digitizer allows it to process more samples and a much higher speed than a traditional oscilloscope. 

The difference between the two part numbers for the PCIe-5140 are the manufacturer listed. Part number 781353-01 is listed as the Santec Digitizer, while part number 782063-01 is listed as the NI OEM version. The manufacturer Santec specializes in optical test and measurement applications, focusing on hardware devices such as micro optics, tunable laser, and advanced optical devices.
