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 14.1.
NI-SCOPE is an IVI-compliant driver that allows you to configure, control, and calibrate the PXIe-5105. 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-5105 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-5105 was first available via InstrumentStudio in NI-SCOPE 18.0 and via the NI-SCOPE SFP in NI-SCOPE 14.1. 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-5105. 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.
