Digitiser jumps aboard the PCIbus

Building on the success of the NI 5112 high-speed digitiser for PXI, National Instruments has released a PCI version.

Building on the success of the company's NI 5112 high-speed digitiser for PXI, National Instruments has released a PCI version to extend the module's measurement capabilities to desktop and industrial computers.

The dual-channel NI 5112 high-speed digitiser for PCI simultaneously acquires waveforms with bandwidths up to 100MHz, sampling at up to 100Msample/s with 8bit resolution.

In random interleaved sampling mode, the digitiser can sample at 2.5Gsample/s.

It is ideal for automating measurements in manufacturing test, non-destructive testing (NDT), physics research, and many other applications.

The NI 5112 high-speed digitiser for PCI ships with 16Mbyte of memory per channel.

Users can select the memory option of 32Mbyte for demanding applications.

With this extended memory, users can capture key events for longer time intervals.

The NI 5112 also features: +/-25mV to +/-25 V input range; up to +/-37V DC offset; selectable 1Mohm or 50ohm input impedance; user-selectable input (20MHz bandwidth limit); and multiple-record acquisition with time stamping of records to 2ns accuracy.

The NI 5112 comes with NI-Scope, a robust Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI)-compliant driver software that delivers more than 50 measurements, including waveform math and time/voltage histograms.

NI-Scope features a soft front panel that delivers standard oscilloscope functions for interactive use.

NI-Scope also integrates with leading application development environments such as NI's LabVIEW and Measurement Studio, as well as Visual Basic and C/C++.
