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.

External calibration corrects for gain, offset, and timing errors at all input ranges.
All calibration constants are stored in nonvolatile memory.
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.
NI-SCOPE provides programming interfaces, documentation, and examples for the following application development environments:
When you install NI-SCOPE on a 64-bit system, you can monitor, control, and record measurements from the PXIe-5171 using InstrumentStudio.
InstrumentStudio is a software-based front panel application that allows you to perform interactive measurements on several different device types in a single program.
Interactive control of the PXIe-5171 was first available via InstrumentStudio in NI-SCOPE 18.1 and via the NI-SCOPE SFP in NI-SCOPE 15.1. InstrumentStudio and the NI-SCOPE SFP are included on the NI-SCOPE media.
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) also provides interactive configuration and test tools for the PXIe-5171. MAX is included on the driver media.
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.
