Lower test costs with eight-channel
oscilloscope
National Instruments announces the new NI PXI-5105 eight-channel digitiser, the lowest price-per-channel high-speed data acquisition product in its class
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 converters or switches to increase channel count Engineers and scientists can use the PXI-5105 60MS/s, 12-bit digitiser to increase the number of analogue input channels in their systems while lowering test costs

Audio and vibration measurements now on PXI
For the first time on the PXI platform, engineers can make precision audio and vibration measurements - using the National Instruments NI 4472 signal acquisition module
Massive online sensors and automation resource
Engineers and scientists now can join an online community of experts, NI Developer Zone, to help them design and implement measurement and automation systems.
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 60MS/s, up to 512MB 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 5000 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. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
