    Definitions

    Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.

    Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.

    • Typical specifications describe the expected performance met by a majority of the models.
    • Nominal specifications describe parameters and attributes that may be useful in operation.

    Specifications are Warranted unless otherwise noted.

    Conditions

    Specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.

    • All vertical ranges
    • All bandwidths and bandwidth limit filters
    • Sample rate set to 250 MS/s
    • Onboard Sample Clock locked to onboard Reference Clock
    • Calibration IP is used properly when using LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for Reconfigurable Oscilloscopes (instrument design libraries) to create FPGA bitfiles. Refer to the NI Reconfigurable Oscilloscopes Help for more information about the calibration API.

    Warranted specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.

    • Ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C
    • The PXIe-5171 module is warmed up for 15 minutes at ambient temperature. Warm-up begins after the chassis is powered, the device is recognized by the host, and the ADC clock is configured using either instrument design libraries or the NI-SCOPE device driver.
    • External calibration cycle is maintained
    • The PXI Express chassis fan speed is set to HIGH, the foam fan filters are removed if present, and the empty slots contain PXI chassis slot blockers and filler panels. For more information about cooling, refer to the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users available at http://www.ni.com/manuals.
    • External calibration is performed at 23 °C ± 3 °C

    Typical specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.

    Caution  

    Electromagnetic interference can adversely affect the measurement accuracy of this product. The coaxial channel inputs of this device (CH 0 to CH 7) are not protected for electromagnetic interference. As a result, this device may experience reduced measurement accuracy or other temporary performance degradation when connected cables are routed in an environment with radiated or conducted radio frequency electromagnetic interference. To limit radiated emissions and to ensure that this device functions within specifications in its operational electromagnetic environment, take precautions when designing, selecting, and installing measurement probes and cables.

    Calibration

    External Calibration

    External calibration corrects for gain, offset, and timing errors at all input ranges.

    All calibration constants are stored in nonvolatile memory.

    Self-Calibration

    Self-calibration is done on software command. The calibration corrects for intermodule synchronization errors.

    Driver Software

    This device was first supported in LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for Reconfigurable Oscilloscopes 14.0 and NI-SCOPE 15.1. NI-SCOPE is an IVI-compliant driver that allows you to configure, control, and calibrate the device. NI-SCOPE provides application programming interfaces for many development environments.

    Interactive Soft Front Panel and Configuration

    The NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel (SFP) allows interactive control of the PXIe-5171.

    Interactive control of the PXIe-5171 was first available in NI-SCOPE SFP version 14.0. The NI-SCOPE SFP is included on the instrument design libraries or NI-SCOPE media.

    NI Measurement Automation Explorer (MAX) also provides interactive configuration and test tools for the PXIe-5171. MAX is included on the NI-SCOPE media.

    TClk Specifications

    You can use the NI TClk synchronization method and the NI-TClk driver to align the Sample clocks on any number of supported devices, in one or more chassis. For more information about TClk synchronization, refer to the NI-TClk Synchronization Help, which is located within the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help. For other configurations, including multichassis systems, contact NI Technical Support at ni.com/support.

    Intermodule Synchronization Using NI-TClk for Identical Modules

    Synchronization specifications are valid under the following conditions:

    • All modules are installed in one PXI Express chassis.
    • The NI-TClk driver is used to align the Sample clocks of each module.
    • All parameters are set to identical values for each module.
    • Modules are synchronized without using an external Sample Clock.
    • All filters are disabled.

    • 3 When the reading from the Device Temperature sensor is within ±10 °C of the DC Adjustment Device Temperature (°C) value.
    • 4 When the reading from the Device Temperature sensor is within ±38 °C of the DC Adjustment Device Temperature (°C) value. This increased temperature span encompasses the majority of temperature differences between the last external calibration environment and the operating environment.
    • 5 Used to calculate additional temperature error when the difference between the Device Temperature sensor and the DC Adjustment Device Temperature (°C) value is greater than ±10 °C (for typical specifications) or ±38 °C (for warranted specifications).
    • 6 Measured on one channel with test signal applied to another channel, with the same range setting on both channels.
    • 7 Normalized to 50 kHz.
    • 8 With AC coupling enabled, the input impedance is 260 kΩ to ground. Verified using a 50 Ω source.
    • 9 -1 dBFS input signal corrected to FS. 358 Hz resolution bandwidth (RBW).
    • 10 Includes the second through the fifth harmonics. -1 dBFS input signal.
    • 11 Two tones at 1 MHz apart. Each tone is -7 dBFS.
    • 12 Verified using a 50 Ω terminator connected to input.
    • 13 For input frequencies less than 75 MHz.
    • 14 The PLL Reference Clock frequency must be accurate to ±25 ppm.
    • 15 Divide by n decimation from 250 MS/s. For more information about the Sample Clock and decimation, refer to the NI Reconfigurable Oscilloscopes Help at ni.com/manuals.
    • 16 Integrated from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. Includes the effects of the converter aperture uncertainty and the clock circuitry jitter.
    • 17 Trigger interpolation is used when the Enable TDC NI-SCOPE attribute is set to TRUE. Otherwise, trigger interpolation is not used.
    • 18 Analog triggers. For input frequencies less than 90 MHz.
    • 19 Data must exceed each corresponding trigger threshold for at least the minimum duration to ensure analog triggering.
    • 20 Onboard memory is shared among all enabled channels.
    • 21 Number of channels is the number of channels enabled rounded up to the nearest power of two.
    • 22 Descriptions of variables in this equation.
      • Number of samples per sample word = 16 samples / number of channels.
      • Number of samples per memory word = 48 samples / number of channels
      • Coerced number of samples is the number of pre-trigger samples rounded up to the next multiple of the number of samples per sample word + number of post trigger samples rounded up to the next multiple of the number of samples per sample word .
    • 23 Warm-up begins after the chassis is powered, the device is recognized by the host, and the device is configured using the instrument design libraries or NI-SCOPE. Running an included sample project or running self-calibration using NI-MAX will configure the device and start warm-up.
    • 24 Caused by clock and analog path delay differences. No manual adjustment performed. Tested with a NI PXIe-1082 chassis with a maximum slot-to-slot skew of 100 ps. Valid within ±1 °C of self-calibration.
