New PXI-5105 eight-channel digitiser
A cost-effective alternative to systems that use multiplexed A/D convertors or switches to increase channel count.
National Instruments announces the new NI PXI-5105 eight-channel digitiser, the lowest price-per-channel high-speed data acquisition product in its class, which offers a cost-effective alternative to systems that use multiplexed A/D convertors or switches to increase channel count Engineers and scientists can use the PXI-5105 60 MS/s, 12-bit digitiser to increase the number of analogue input channels in their systems while lowering test costs

For the first time on the PXI platform, engineers can make precision audio and vibration measurements with the National Instruments NI4472.
Modules condition a range of sensor signals
National Instruments has released new Signal Conditioning Component modules for frequency to voltage conversion, integrated circuit piezoelectric accelerometers and RTDs.
The new module extends the National Instruments family of high-density, simultaneous-sampling data acquisition products to more than 20 devices ranging from 12 to 24 bits, up to 60 MS/s, up to 512 MB onboard memory and up to eight channels on a single 3U PXI or PCI device.
Engineers can configure the PXI-5105 digitiser through software to perform typical oscilloscope measurements as well as custom measurements in many applications.
In particular, the PXI-5105 digitiser is ideal for building high-channel-count systems in application areas such as ultrasonic non-destructive test (especially linear- and phased-array applications that require phase coherence), medical imaging including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), seismic imaging and general ATE applications.
To expand channel count beyond eight channels, the PXI-5105 builds on the PXI platform to deliver picosecond-level synchronisation accuracy among modules.
With this capability, engineers can build phase-coherent systems of up to 136 channels in a single 4U height, 19-inch rack-mountable PXI chassis, which they can expand to more than 5,000 channels using multiple PXI chassis.
Engineers can integrate the PXI-5105 digitiser with a variety of NI hardware including digitisers, signal generators, high-speed digital I/O and multifunction data acquisition devices to create a custom measurement system.
The module also works with all National Instruments software including NI LabVIEW as well as other common development environments such as C, C++ and Microsoft Visual Basic.
Engineers working on ultrasonic non-destructive test applications can accelerate their application development with the LabVIEW Ultrasonic Starter Kit, which is available as a free download at ni.com/digitizers/highdensity. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
