New digitiser and updated jitter analysis toolkit from NI

20 March 2013 Test & Measurement

National Instruments announced the PXIe-5162 digitiser and updates to the LabVIEW Jitter Analysis Toolkit.

The digitiser, with 10 bits of vertical resolution and a 5 GSps sample rate, provides high-speed measurements at four times the vertical resolution of a traditional 8-bit oscilloscope. With 1,5 GHz of bandwidth and four channels in a single slot, it is suited for high-channel-count digitiser systems in manufacturing test, research and device characterisation.

Engineers can use the digitiser with LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Jitter Analysis Toolkit, which provides a library of functions optimised for performing the high-throughput jitter, eye diagram and phase noise measurements demanded by automated validation and production test environments.

The toolkit provides built-in functions for clock recovery, eye diagram, jitter, level and timing measurements. Example programs are available for eye diagram and mask testing, and random and deterministic jitter (RJ/DJ) separation using both dual-Dirac and spectrum-based separation methods.
