Test & Measurement World Names NI Digitizer Best in Test
Editors from Test & Measurement World magazine recently named the NI PXI-5922 flexible-resolution digitizer as a Best in Test winner and finalist for the Test Product of the Year in the publication's 2006 Best in Test awards. Unlike traditional oscilloscopes and PC-based digitizers that have a fixed resolution for all sample rates, the NI PXI-5922 is a flexible-resolution digitizer with which engineers can trade sample rate for resolution through software.
