Overview
Triggering, Clocking, and Synchronization
National Instruments 5124 high-resolution digitizers feature two • Edge, window, hysteresis, video, digital, triggering with
200 MS/s simultaneously sampled input channels with 12-bit 50 ps timestamping
resolution, 150 MHz bandwidth, and up to 512 MB of memory per • Pre and posttrigger acquisition in single and multiple-record mode
channel in a 3U PXI or PCI module. NI 5124 devices use the high- • Internal 200 MHz clock or external clock from 50 to 210 MHz
speed PCI bus and the scatter-gather bus mastering of the NI MITE • Phase lock to PXI 10 MHz reference or external reference from
ASIC to move data to the computer at speeds up to 100 times faster
than traditional instrument interfaces, thereby dramatically
