The National Instruments 784343-01 VirtualBench (VB-8034) is a versatile, all-in-one test and measurement instrument that combines five essential devices into a compact and portable solution. It features a 350 MHz mixed-signal oscilloscope, equipped with four analog channels and 34 digital channels, enabling precise signal analysis for circuit design, debugging, and validation. The oscilloscope offers a maximum sample rate of 1.5 GS/s per channel with an 8-bit resolution, ensuring detailed signal visualization and broad vertical sensitivity, ranging from 5 mV/div to 5 V/div. Input impedance settings can be configured to either 1 MΩ || 15 pF or 50 Ω, accommodating various testing needs.

In addition to the oscilloscope, the VirtualBench includes a function generator with a 125 MS/s update rate, capable of producing sine, square, and arbitrary waveforms up to 20 MHz with a 14-bit resolution for accurate signal generation in test applications. Furthermore, it features a digital multimeter with a 5½-digit resolution, supporting AC/DC voltage, current, resistance, and continuity testing while providing robust protection through fuses and reverse voltage safeguards.

The built-in power supply provides three programmable DC outputs: one 0 – 6 V output with a maximum current of 3 A, and two 0 – 25 V outputs with a maximum current of 1 A each, ensuring precise control and safety. Additionally, the VirtualBench includes eight digital I/O channels that support software-controlled input or output operations, handling 5 V TTL input and 3.3 V LVTTL output with a drive strength of 4 mA, making it suitable for external device control and simple logic operations.

The NI 784343-01 integrates effortlessly with PCs and iPads, featuring an intuitive software interface that consolidates all measurements onto a single screen. The software is designed for easy updates, enabling enhanced functionality over time, and it integrates seamlessly with LabVIEW for automation and advanced testing sequences. Connectivity options include USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, providing flexibility for various applications. With its compact dimensions of 30.48 cm × 25.40 cm × 16.00 cm (12.0 in. × 10.0 in. × 6.3 in.) and weight of just 3.13 kg (6 lb 4.4 oz), the 784343-01 VirtualBench is ideal for engineers and technicians requiring portability without compromising test capabilities. It comes with a warranty of 2 to 3 years, ensuring reliable performance in both laboratory and field environments.
