Digitizer And ARB Modules Raise Sample Rate And Memory December 2004 Issue Published Date: January 06, 2005
Employing the company’s Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) and leading-edge semiconductors, the PXI-5124 12-bit, dual-channel digitizer and the PXI-5422 16-bit arbitrary waveform generator (ARB) modules deliver sample rates up to 200 Msamples/s and memory depths up to 512 MB per channel. The digitizer features a 75 dBc spurious-free dynamic range and a 150-MHz bandwidth, while the ARB delivers less than 6% pulse aberration and a 1.8 ns rise time. Both can be used with SignalExpress interactive measurement software, as well as LabVIEW 7.1 and NI TestStand test management software. The NI PXI-5124 digitizer is priced from $5,995 and the NI PXI-5422 ARB from $5,995. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, Austin, TX. (888) 280-7645.
