The NI PXI-5142 is a 100 MS/s digitizer with onboard signal processing (OSP). OSP functions include quadrature digital downconversion (DDC), real digital downconversion, and antialias filtering for baseband I/Q decimation and general-purpose applications. The PXI-5142, ideal for communications applications, is also suited for a wide variety of applications in automotive, scientific research, military/aerospace, and consumer electronics. With the large dynamic range, software-selectable 50 Ω or 1 MΩ input, ranges from 200 mV to 20 V, and ability to acquire more than a half million waveforms in onboard memory, the PXI-5142 is ideal for both time- and frequency-domain analysis.

Preview a Complete System View and price a complete PXI configuration including the NI PXI-5142, chassis, and controller. Starting from the default configuration, you can add modules, accessories, and software and customize your system.
You need a cable to transmit signals to your device.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.

System Assurance Programs
Reduce your setup time and total cost of ownership, and get a system you can use out of the box with National Instruments system assurance programs. System assurance programs include:
Installation and integration test of all individual hardware
Courtesy installation of system driver sets and application development environments
Extended warranty and calibration coverage for up to five years
Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility
This service is only available for PXI, NI CompactRIO, and NI Compact FieldPoint systems.
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
