Overview
The NI PXIe-5162 digitizer/oscilloscope delivers a new level of performance in the small-form-factor, low-power PXI platform. Its flexibility makes it an ideal general-purpose
instrument for test and measurement applications. Each of the four analog input channels can acquire up to 5 GS/s with 1.5 GHz of bandwidth on the 50 Ω path and 300 MHz on
the 1 MΩ path. For high-channel applications, the analog-to-digital-converter provides two channels to sample up to 2.5 GS/s or four channels to sample up to 1.25 GS/s with 1.5
GHz analog bandwidth on the 50 Ω path. To manage the large data sets, the NI PXIe-5162 is equipped with deep onboard memory and a PCI Express x4 Gen 1 link to the PXI
Express backplane.

High-Performance Front End, Digital Back End Optimized for Automated Test
Using a 10-bit, 5 GS/s analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the NI PXIe-5162 provides high-speed sampling with four times the vertical resolution of a traditional box instrument. To
capture these small signal changes, the front end of the digitizer was carefully designed to reduce noise and distortion, resulting in seven effective number of bits (ENOB) at 1
GHz of analog bandwidth. Each channel on the NI PXIe-5162 is equipped with 50 Ω and 1 MΩ input impedance paths, input ranges spanning from 50 mV
pk-pk
to 50 V

,
selectable filters, and AC or DC coupling options. Once the analog signal is converted, the digital signal output can be sent to an NI FlexRIO FPGA coprocessor for inline
processing with the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module or back to the host CPU for post-processing. Data is transferred over the high-speed PCI Express x4 Gen 1 link to the PXI
Express backplane.
The result is a digitizer with leading analog performance optimized for automated test applications.
Figure 1. You can independently configure the NI PXIe-5162 input impedance, vertical ranges, and signal coupling on a per channel basis.
Simplified Channel Expansion
For applications requiring high-channel density, the single-slot NI PXIe-5162 includes four analog input channels that are capable of simultaneously digitizing signals at a rate of
1.25 GS/s. The modular PXI platform makes it possible to fit up to 68 channels in a compact 18-slot PXI chassis. Configuring the triggering and clock synchronization of the
individual modules using the NI-TClk API makes the system appear as one multichannel oscilloscope with 100 ps of skew between modules. This greatly simplifies the user
experience. Moreover, this easy-to-set-up channel expansion extends to all NI PXI digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators, and high-speed digital I/O modules. To manage these
large data sets, each module is capable of delivering high-data throughput at rates greater than 600 MB/s.

Figure 2. With the density of the NI PXIe-5162 digitizer, you can create a 68-channel software-defined oscilloscope.
Flexible Software
Unlike vendor-defined box instruments, modular digitizers are defined and customized through software. Basic functions are available through the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel, an
interactive UI that is shipped with PXI digitizers. You can also build fully automated applications using the NI-SCOPE driver, which provides over 40 digitizer examples to
accelerate development time. The IVI-compliant NI-SCOPE driver provides abstracted APIs for use with NI LabVIEW, NI LabWindows
™
/CVI, and NI Measurement Studio for
Visual Studio. It also includes more than 50 built-in measurement and analysis functions. For comprehensive data analysis and visualization, LabVIEW is shipped with over 850
signal processing and mathematics functions.
