March 27, 2007 – National Instruments today announced PCI versions of two popular high-speed and high-density digitizers/oscilloscopes, extending the company’s high-speed PCI offering to 2 GS/s and low-cost PCI offering to $500; €475; or ¥69,625 per channel. The National Instruments PCI-5152 general-purpose digitizer converts a desktop PC into a full-featured oscilloscope. 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 Ω and 1 MΩ software-selectable input impedance. Engineers can customize the NI PCI-5152 digitizer through software to perform user-defined measurements in application areas including semiconductor chip characterization, ultrasonic nondestructive test (NDT), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and mass spectroscopy. Starting at just $500 per channel, the National Instruments PCI-5105 eight-channel, 60 MS/s, 12-bit data acquisition board increases system channel density while lowering test costs. With picosecond-level synchronization 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 digitizers, features more than 50 built-in measurement and analysis functions for time and frequency domain applications. Engineers can integrate the new digitizers with a variety of NI hardware including other digitizers, signal generators, high-speed digital I/O and multifunction data acquisition devices to create custom measurement solutions. The PCI-5152 and PCI-5105 digitizers also work with all National Instruments software including National Instruments LabVIEW, National Instruments LabWindows/CVI and NI TestStand as well as other common development environments such as C++, C# and .NET. About NI Modular Instruments NI modular instruments are the building blocks for economical and versatile automated test systems. With modular instruments, engineers specify the essential functionality they require – choosing from a wide variety of measurement, signal generation, RF, power and switch modules – then configure those instruments in software for their specific measurement tasks. Because these instruments are modular and software-defined, they are quickly interchanged and easily repurposed to meet the challenge of evolving test needs. NI modular instruments are available on a variety of platforms including PXI, PXI Express, PCI, PCI Express and PCMCIA and provide the advantage of high-speed test execution by harnessing the power of industry-standard PC and advanced timing and synchronization technologies. The product family includes: About National Instruments National Instruments is transforming the way engineers and scientists design, prototype and deploy systems for measurement, automation and embedded applications. NI empowers customers with off-the-shelf software such as NI LabVIEW and modular cost-effective hardware, and sells to a broad base of more than 25,000 different companies worldwide, with no one customer representing more than 3 percent of revenue and no one industry representing more than 10 percent of revenue. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, NI has more than 4,000 employees and direct operations in nearly 40 countries. For the past eight years, FORTUNE magazine has named NI one of the 100 best companies to work for in America. |
