PCI oscilloscopes extend speed and
channel density
National Instruments has PCI versions of two popular high-speed and high-density digitisers/oscilloscopes, extending high-speed offering to 2GS/s and low-cost offering to £330 or euro475 per channel
The National Instruments PCI-5152 general-purpose digitiser converts a desktop PC into a full-featured oscilloscope It offers a 2GS/s real-time sampling rate on one channel or a 1GS/s real-time sampling rate on two simultaneous channels

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.
For repetitive signals, the module features an equivalent-time sampling (ETS) mode to sample at up to 20GS/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 £330 or euro475 per channel, the National Instruments PCI-5015 eight-channel, 60MS/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.
