The NI PXIe-5186 digitizer, codeveloped by National Instruments and Tektronix, delivers a new level of performance in the small-form-factor, low-power PXI platform. Tektronix technology provides the trusted measurement fidelity of Tektronix oscilloscopes. The digital back end uses NI Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) technology to deliver high-data throughput at rates greater than 700 MB/s and multimodule synchronization with ±80 ps channel-to-channel skew. The result is a digitizer that features leading analog performance optimized for automated test applications.

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.
