.jpg) 60 MS/s, Eight-Channel PXI Module Expands NI Family of 22 High-Density Digitizers NEWS RELEASE – July 26, 2006 – National Instruments announces the new NI PXI-5105 eight-channel digitizer, 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 60 MS/s, 12-bit digitizer to increase the number of analog input channels in their systems while lowering test costs. 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 60 MS/s, up to 512 MB onboard memory and up to eight channels on a single 3U PXI or PCI device. Engineers can configure the PXI-5105 digitizer through software to perform typical oscilloscope measurements as well as custom measurements in many applications. In particular, the PXI-5105 digitizer 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 synchronization 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 5,000 channels using multiple PXI chassis. Engineers can integrate the PXI-5105 digitizer with a variety of NI hardware including digitizers, 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 at ni.com/digitizers/highdensity About NI Modular Instruments NI offers essential technologies for test, which combine high-performance hardware, flexible software and innovative timing and synchronization technology for test and design applications. NI modular instruments offer accurate, high-throughput measurements from DC to 2.7 GHz. The product family includes: About National Instruments For 30 years, National Instruments has been a technology pioneer and leader in virtual instrumentation – a revolutionary concept that has changed the way engineers and scientists in industry, government and academia approach measurement and automation. Leveraging PCs and commercial technologies, virtual instrumentation increases productivity and lowers costs for test, control and design applications through easy-to-integrate software, such as NI LabVIEW, and modular measurement and control hardware for PXI, PCI, PCI Express, USB and Ethernet. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, NI has more than 3,900 employees and direct operations in nearly 40 countries. For the past seven years, FORTUNE magazine has named NI one of the 100 best companies to work for in America. |
