The National Instruments PXI-5153 Oscilloscope is a high-performance measurement solution designed for demanding applications requiring rapid data acquisition and analysis. With a bandwidth of 500 MHz and a sample rate of up to 2 GS/s, the PXI-5153 captures fast transients and nanosecond-edge signals with precision, supporting a 20 GS/s equivalent time sampling rate for repetitive signals. This model offers expandable onboard memory options of 8 MB, 64 MB, or 256 MB per channel, allowing it to maintain high sampling rates over extended measurement periods.

The PXI-5153 is well-suited for automated testing and data streaming in industries such as consumer electronics, semiconductor, aerospace/defense, and life sciences. Its architecture is optimized for automated test environments, featuring a high-throughput bus that minimizes test time and enables picosecond-level synchronization across modules. This oscilloscope integrates seamlessly with the complete suite of National Instruments hardware, including arbitrary waveform generators, high-speed digital I/O devices, and additional digitizers, facilitating the assembly of a comprehensive mixed-signal or high-channel-count test system with up to 34 phase-synchronized 1 GS/s channels within a single PXI chassis.

Key specifications include an 8-bit resolution, 50 Ohm input impedance, a maximum memory depth of 512 Mpts, and an input overload capacity of 7 Vrms. The PXI-5153 also features a rise and fall time of 600 ps and adjustable input ranges from 100 mV to 5 V. While the model has transitioned into the Maintenance phase as of December 30, 2022, Apex Waves continues to buy, sell, and repair end-of-life NI hardware, ensuring the PXI-5153 remains available for your testing needs.
