Software helps develop 21st century skills
LabView graphical design software is a key component of the the new Lego Education WeDo classroom robotics platform.
It offers a 2Gsample/s real-time sampling rate on one channel or a 1Gsample/s real-time sampling rate on two simultaneous channels.
For repetitive signals, the module features an equivalent-time sampling (ETS) mode to sample at up to 20Gsample/s.
The board features 300MHz bandwidth and ranges from 100mV to 10V with 50ohm and 1Mohm software-selectable input impedance.
Engineers can customise the NI PCI-5152 digitiser through software to perform user-defined measurements in application areas including semiconductor chip characterisation, ultrasonic nondestructive test (NDT), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and mass spectroscopy.
Starting at just GBP 330 or Eur 475 per channel, the National Instruments PCI-5015 eight-channel, 60Msample/s 12bit data acquisition board increases system channel density while lowering test costs.
With picosecond-level synchronisation accuracy among multiple modules, the device is ideal for building high-channel-count systems in application areas such as linear and phased-array ultrasonic NDT.
The NI-Scope driver, which is common to all NI digitisers, features more than 50 built-in measurement and analysis functions for time and frequency domain applications.
Engineers can integrate the new digitisers with a variety of NI hardware including other digitisers, signal generators, high-speed digital I/O and multifunction data acquisition devices to create custom measurement solutions.
The PCI-5152 and PCI-5105 digitisers also work with all National Instruments software including National Instruments LabView, National InstrumentsLabWindows/CVI and NI TestStand as well as other common development environments such as C++, C# and NET.
