Wi-Fi, Ethernet data devices are easy to use
National Instruments has introduced 10 Wi-Fi and Ethernet data acquisition devices with built-in signal conditioning that offer easy-to-use, high performance remote measurements.
1GHz bandwidth digitiser is PC-based
National Instruments' PXI-5154 digitiser/PC-based oscilloscope is said to be ideal for acquisition and characterisation of fast, nanosecond-edge speeds in automated test applications.
It offers a 2 GS/s real-time sampling rate on one channel or a 1 GS/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 20 GS/s.
The board features 300 MHz bandwidth and ranges from 100 mV to 10 V with 50 Ohm and 1 MOhm 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.
The National Instruments PCI-5015 eight-channel, 60 MS/s, 12-bit 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.
