Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty. Warranted specifications account for measurement uncertainties, temperature drift, and aging. Warranted specifications are ensured by design or verified during production and calibration.
Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.
Specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.

Driver support for this device was first available in NI-SCOPE 3.0.
NI-SCOPE is an IVI-compliant driver that allows you to configure, control, and calibrate the PCI-5922. 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 PCI-5922 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 PCI-5922 was first available via InstrumentStudio in NI-SCOPE 18.1 and via the NI-SCOPE SFP in NI-SCOPE 2.2. 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 PCI-5922. 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.

To ensure that the PCI-5922 cools effectively, make sure that the chassis in which it is used has active cooling that provides at least some airflow across the PCI card cage. To maximize airflow and extend the life of the device, leave any adjacent PCI slots empty. Refer to the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users included in the kit or available at ni.com/manuals for important cooling information. The PCI-5922 is intended for indoor use only.
