The National Instruments PCI-5154 is a high-performance oscilloscope designed for advanced data acquisition tasks. It features two simultaneously sampled analog input channels, each capable of independent sampling at rates of up to 2 GS/s, delivering an impressive bandwidth of 1 GHz. With a resolution of 8 bits, the PCI-5154 is optimized for a range of input couplings: AC, DC, and GND, all operating under a 50 Ω input impedance. The device ensures high accuracy, maintaining a DC accuracy of ±1.0% plus 1.3% of full scale within the 0.1 V to 1 V input range. A built-in 20 MHz noise filter helps to refine signal integrity, while a typical rise/fall time of 428 ps ensures precision in high-speed applications.

Equipped with an integrated onboard clock, the PCI-5154 supports a real-time sampling range from 15.26 kS/s to 1 GS/s. It offers flexible sampling capabilities, operating in random interleaved mode to achieve sampling rates ranging from 2 GS/s to 20 GS/s. An external sample clock can be connected via the front panel SMB connector (PFI 0). This compact and lightweight oscilloscope features all connectors mounted on the front panel for easy access and installation into any compatible PCI slot, eliminating the need for a PXI chassis.

The PCI-5154 includes 8 MB of onboard memory, supporting up to 32,768 records for extensive data analysis. Additionally, it incorporates self-calibration capabilities to adjust for offset, timing errors, gain, and triggering, ensuring consistent performance over time. Available part numbers for this model include 780320-01, 780320-02, and 780320-03. Although the PCI-5154 has entered the NI Maintenance phase as of December 30, 2022, it remains accessible through Apex Waves, where you can buy, sell, or request repairs for end-of-life National Instruments hardware.
