Data Sheet

The NI PCI-5122 high-resolution digitizer is suited for a wide variety of applications in communications, scientific/medical research, military/aerospace, and consumer electronics. With the large dynamic range, software-selectable 50 Ω or 1 MΩ input, ranges from 200 mVpp to 20 Vpp, and ability to acquire more than 1 million waveforms in onboard memory, the PCI-5122 is ideal for both time- and frequency-domain analysis. You can program more than 50 built-in measurement and analysis functions directly from the driver and expand them to more than 400 with NI LabVIEW and LabWindows™/CVI software. The PCI-5122 also includes the NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit (32 and 256 MB models only), which provides additional sophisticated frequency-domain measurements, such as power spectrum, peak power and frequency, in-band power, adjacent-channel power, and 3D spectrogram.
