250 MS/s real-time sampling 5 GS/s random-interleaved sampling 8-bit resolution 125 MHz bandwidth	40 mVpp to 40 Vpp input range 8, 64, or 256 MB memory per channel Edge, window, hysteresis, video, and digital triggering with 40 ps timestamping

Overview

NI PXI-5114 and PCI-5114 high-speed digitizers feature two 250 MS/s simultaneously sampled input channels with 8-bit resolution, 125 MHz bandwidth, and up to 256 MB of memory per channel in a compact, 3U PXI or PCI device. With the National Instruments Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture of an NI 5114, you can create mixed-signal systems using signal generators and digital waveform generator/analyzers or build a high-channel-count digitizer with subnanosecond synchronization between channels. An NI 5114 is ideal for a wide range of application areas including communications, scientific applications, military/aerospace, and consumer electronics.

Support and Services

System Assurance Programs

NI system assurance programs are designed to make it even easier for you to own an NI system. These programs include configuration and deployment services for your NI PXI, CompactRIO, or Compact FieldPoint system. The NI Basic System Assurance Program provides a simple integration test and ensures that your system is delivered completely assembled in one box. When you configure your system with the NI Standard System Assurance Program, you can select from available NI system driver sets and application development environments to create customized, reorderable software configurations. Your system arrives fully assembled and tested in one box with your software preinstalled. When you order your system with the standard program, you also receive system-specific documentation including a bill of materials, an integration test report, a recommended maintenance plan, and frequently asked question documents. Finally, the standard program reduces the total cost of owning an NI system by providing three years of warranty coverage and calibration service. Use the online product advisors at ni.com/advisor to find a system assurance program to meet your needs.

Detailed Specifications

8-Bit 250 MS/s Digitizer This document lists the specifications for the NI PXI/PCI-5114 (NI 5114) high-speed digitizer. Unless otherwise noted, these specifications are valid for the following conditions: All filter settings All impedance selections Sample clock set to 250 MS/s Typical values are representative of an average unit operating at room temperature. Specifications are subject to change without notice. For the most recent NI 5114 specifications, visit ni.com/manuals. To access the NI 5114 documentation, including the NI High-Speed Digitizers Getting Started Guide, which contains functional descriptions of the NI 5114 signals, navigate to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Documentation. Note If the NI 5114 has been in use, it may exceed safe handling temperatures and cause burns. Allow the NI 5114 to cool before removing it from the PXI chassis or PC. Refer to the Environment section for operating temperatures of this device.

TClk Specifications

National Instruments TClk synchronization method and the NI-TClk driver are used to align the sample clocks on any number of SMC-based modules in a chassis. For more information about TClk synchronization, refer to the NI-TClk Synchronization Help, which is located within the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help. Specifications are valid for any number of modules installed in one NI PXI-1042 chassis. All parameters set to identical values for each SMC-based module. Sample Clock set to 250 MS/s and all filters are disabled. For other configurations, including multichassis systems, contact NI Technical Support at ni.com/support. Note Although you can use NI-TClk to synchronize nonidentical modules, these specifications apply only to synchronizing identical modules.
