National Instruments PXIe-5171 High-Density Oscilloscope

The National Instruments PXIe-5171 (Part Number: 783692-01) High-density Oscilloscope, with the Kintex-7 FPGA, controls the time in the analog data acquisition channels. The NI PXIe-5171 Oscilloscope also deals with the DRAM access, communicating through the PXIe bus, dealing with the acquisition trigger, and performing any signal processing required. This kind of programmability and adaptability enables National Instruments and its clients to grow, increment, or enhance instrument execution when necessary. The device is equipped with 8 voltage input channels with a maximum bandwidth of 250 MHz, and a maximum sample rate of 250 MS per second.

The PXIe-5171 operates various software options such as the NI-SCOPE driver software, LabVIEW, C/C++/C#, NI-SCOPE soft front panel (SFP), and instrument driver libraries such as LabVIEW FPGA Module and the NI LabVIEW application builder. The device hardware can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.

Unlike conventional instrument boxes that can be upgraded at regular intervals, the utilization of FPGA to control all oscilloscope activities enables the instrument to be reconfigured with LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA software in minutes, hours, or days, depending on the complexity of the instrument.

The NI PXIe 5171 Oscilloscope has an ADC with signal conditioning that forms the basis of a digitizer. Some measured digitizers, when joined with proper programming, can be sold as oscilloscopes. Notwithstanding, even though the circumstance is step by step changing, Digitizers are frequently measured, while Oscilloscopes are regularly customary bank instruments. This qualification is normally identified with how each sort of gadget is utilized. Oscilloscopes are generally used for problem solving, while digitizers are typically used for data acquisition. The device is equipped with 2 SMA and a MHDMR connector.

The two sorts of instruments usually have a wide range of activation capacities: ways to choose only certain kinds of events from the general signal or synchronize the acquisition with an outside trigger. In addition, particularly in rapid modules, a lot of memory can be incorporated to address a quick information transfer locally. The NI device weighs 17.1 oz., and measures 7.3 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C.
