Overview
National Instruments 5124 high-resolution digitizers feature two 200 MS/s simultaneously sampled input channels with 12-bit resolution, 150 MHz bandwidth, and up to 512 MB of memory per channel in a 3U PXI or PCI module. NI 5124 devices use the highspeed PCI bus and the scatter-gather bus mastering of the NI MITE ASIC to move data to the computer at speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional instrument interfaces, thereby dramatically decreasing overall test time. With the Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture of an NI 5124, you can create mixed-signal systems using signal generators and digital waveform generators/analyzers or build a high-channel-count digitizer with sub-nanosecond synchronization between channels.
