National Instruments PCI-5122 Oscilloscope

The NI PCI-5122 Oscilloscope (Part Numbers: 778758-01, 778758-02, 778758-03, 190971K-02L, 190971J-02) utilizes 14-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), low-noise variable-gain enhancers, a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s, and a low-jitter 100 MHz time-base to deliver a 75 dBc spurious-free powerful range and a 62 dB signal-to-noise proportion. The 14-bit data converters have 64 times the resolution of customary 8-bit instruments, giving more precise time and recurrence space estimations. This model comes in several variations, each with a with different onboard memory size: 778758-01 (8 MB/ch), 778758-02 (32 MB/ch), and 778758-03 (256 MB/ch).

This model has software selectable 50 Ω or 1 Mω input impedance, input ranges from 200 mVpp to 20 Vpp, and seven trigger modes. The anti-alias and noise channels make the NI PCI-5122 Oscilloscope sufficiently adaptable to meet the most requesting application necessities. The programmable DC counterbalance highlight expands the utilization of the full 14 bits of vertical range. Installed self-adjustment additionally guarantees estimation steadiness over the working temperature range of 0 to 55 °C. The device has a typical power consumption value of 29.28 W, and a maximum of 33.12 W.

Because of the NI Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC), the PCI-5122 Oscilloscope can accompany rapid memory alternatives from 8 to 256 MB for each channel (4 to 256 million 14-bit tests per channel). The NI PCI-5122 model can gain more than 1 million activated waveforms without programming mediation in various record acquisition mode for applications, such as RADAR, ultrasound, and event detection, which require short trigger rearm times. Additionally, the user can timestamp each triggered event with 100 ps resolution in both single-shot and numerous record securing modes. The PCI-5122 can also stream information consistently from locally available memory to have memory for longer acquisitions and streaming to disk.

The PCI-5122 is run using the NI-SCOPE driver software which is compatible with software packages like LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. The NI device weighs 16 oz, and measures 8.4 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C, a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 71 °C, and a non-condensing operating and storage humidity range of 10% to 90% and 5% to 95% respectively.

The PCI-5122 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 PCI-5122 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 PCI-5122 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped. Call or email us today for more information about calibrating the PCI-5122!
