One hidden oscilloscope spec that really matters
by Ben Robinson, National Instruments Corp. Bandwidth isn’t necessarily the primary spec for evaluating how well a scope can display signals of interest. Oscilloscope vendors, National Instruments included, like putting big numbers on the front panels of their instruments to tell you how much better they are than competitors. Bandwidth, sample rate, and sometimes bits-of-resolution […]
7.5-digit DMM in PXI Express format
NI the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, have announced the NI PXIe-4081 7½-digit high-performance DMM and 1.8 MS/s isolated digitizer. The NI PXIe-4081 is the first PXI Express DMM available. It offers engineers the flexibility, resolution and isolation needed to tackle challenging applications that […]
Trigger me this
by Bill Driver, Christian Gindorf, National Instruments Conventional triggering methods in oscilloscopes have trouble capturing rare or complex events. New approaches employ FPGA technology to discern complicated triggering conditions and analyze signals in real time. One important requirement for oscilloscopes and similar instruments is the ability to trigger on an event of interest. Many vendors […]
