National Instruments PCI-5102

The National Instruments PCI-5102 (Part Number: 777304-01) is a compact and cost-effective 20 MS/s, 2-channel Digitizer designed for PCI applications. This high-performance device is ideal for implementation in high-speed data acquisition (DAQ) systems, featuring 15 MHz of analog input bandwidth on each channel. Users can benefit from software-selectable attenuation, accommodating input voltage ranges from ±50 mV to ±5 V, with the option to extend this range up to ±50 V using attenuating probes. The PCI-5102 enhances signal measurement capabilities with software-selectable AC or DC coupling. Engineered with dual 8-bit, 20 MS/s flash ADCs, it ensures rapid digitization of input signals. The device also supports random-interleaved sampling, effectively extending the sampling rate up to 1 GS/s.

Equipped with approximately 663,000 samples of onboard acquisition memory, data is initially collected in the device's integrated memory before being transferred to the host PC for further analysis. The PCI-5102 utilizes the NI-DMM driver software for seamless operation and real-time data transfer. It includes sophisticated triggering capabilities, such as programmable thresholds, bi-level triggering, and hysteresis values, applicable to both input and dedicated trigger channels. Users can specify how many samples to collect before and after triggering events, complemented by two TTL/CMOS digital triggers for instrument synchronization. This feature allows the timing of multiple instruments with a common sample clock and synchronized triggering.

With dimensions measuring 4.2 x 6.87 inches, the PCI-5102 is compact enough for various applications. Although the PCI-5102 has been classified as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves, accompanied by a three-year warranty and supporting user and maintenance manuals for download.
