National Instruments PXI-5152

The National Instruments PXI-5152 is a high-performance oscilloscope and digitizer that delivers exceptional capabilities with a bandwidth of 300 MHz and real-time sampling rates of up to 2 GS/s. This device is designed for precise measurement and analysis of fast signals, featuring a maximum time test rate of 20 GS/s for repetitive signals. To accommodate extensive data capture, the PXI-5152 is equipped with onboard memory options of 8 MB, 64 MB, or 256 MB per channel, ensuring sustained sample rates across prolonged observation periods.

This oscilloscope can be integrated into mixed-signal systems, allowing the user to combine it with various signal generators and digital waveform generator/analyzers. Furthermore, it supports building high-channel-count digitizer setups with sub-nanosecond synchronization between channels. By utilizing a high-throughput bus, the PXI-5152 minimizes test times and enables picosecond-level synchronization among multiple modules, accommodating configurations of up to 34 phase-synchronous channels operating at 1 GS/s within a single PXI chassis.

The device’s Real-Time Interleaved Sampling (TIS) mode enables a 2 GS/s real-time sample rate for a single channel, consolidating its versatility for diverse testing applications. The PXI-5152, falling into the "Mature" phase of the NI Product Lifecycle, receives limited manufacturer support; however, Apex Waves offers ongoing availability for purchase, repair, and calibration services of this model. Detailed specifications, including dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches and a weight of 16.3 ounces, can be found in the appropriate manuals and datasheets.
