PXIe-5170

The PXIe‑5170 high-density PXI oscilloscope has eight simultaneously-sampled channels with flexible settings for coupling and voltage range. PXI oscilloscopes also feature a number of triggering modes, deep onboard memory, and an instrument driver that includes data streaming and analysis functions. This device is ideal for applications with many channels that require up to 25 MS/s or 10 MHz of analog bandwidth and advanced PXI synchronization. The PXIe‑517 also features a programmable Kintex‑7 325T FPGA that can be used for custom acquisition, triggering, signal processing, and data streaming.
