National Instruments (NI) has released what it claims is the industry’s highest bandwidth PXI digitiser, complementing the rapidly expanding suite of performance instrumentation available in PXI. Co-developed with Tektronix, the world’s leading manufacturer of oscilloscopes, the NI PXIe-5186 digitiser employs Tektronix, Enabling Technology to achieve up to 5GHz bandwidth and 12.5GS/s sample rates.
The company also announced the NI PXIe-5185, which delivers 3GHz bandwidth along with 12.5GS/s sample rate. Both digitisers are part of the National Instruments PXI-based hardware and software platform, which provides optimised performance for automated test applications.
Proprietary Tektronix performance oscilloscope ASICs in the new digitisers provide the foundation for high-speed signal acquisition with low noise and high linearity, and are based on the highly-reliable IBM 7HP SiGe process. Whereas, National Instruments’s proprietary technology delivers high-data throughput for faster test execution and precision multimodule timing and synchronisation for building high-channel-count, integrated test systems.
