National Instruments PXI-5142 Oscilloscope

The high resolution PXI-5142 Oscilloscope (Part Numbers: 195003E-01L, 779587-02, 779587-01) and  is intended for use in communication signal estimations. It has 2 channels that can compleye high-resolution and high-noise estimations with up to 40 MHz of data transmission and inner assets for computerized down-change of quadrature and I/Q baseband filtering. This gadget is perfect for communications estimations and applications that require association with a low-RF converter. The PXI-5142 also has PXI synchronization capacities and information composing. In addition, this model offers two part numbers with different memory sizes: part number 779587-02 with 256 MB and part number 779587-01 with 64 MB.

The NI PXI-5142 is a 100 MS/s digitizer with onboard signal preparing (OSP). OSP capacities incorporate quadrature digital down-conversion (DDC), genuine advanced down-conversion, and anti-alias filtering for baseband I/Q decimation and general use applications. With the vast dynamic range, program selectable 50 O or 1 MO input, ranges from 200 mV to 20 V, and capacity to obtain more than a half million waveforms in installed memory, the PXI-5142 is perfect for both time-and recurrence area examination. The user can utilize the included NI TClk synchronization technique and the NI-TClk driver to adjust the sample timekeepers on any number of supported gadgets, in at least one chassis.

In this unit, the driver is utilized to adjust the sample timekeepers of every module. All parameters are set to indistinguishable esteems for every module, the sample clock is set to 100 MS per second, and all channels are crippled.

The PXI 5142 is run using the NI-SCOPE driver software which is compatible with software packages/application development environments (ADEs) like LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. It can be configured with the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. The device has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes and should be configured at least once every 2 years. The NI device weighs 16.2 oz, and measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C, and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 71 °C.

PXI-5142 Mature Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the oscilloscope will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves. 

The PXI-5142 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the PXI-5142 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the PXI-5142 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
