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