NI PXI/PCI-5124 Specifications
12-Bit 200 MS/s Digitizer
This document lists the specifications for the NI PXI/PCI-5124 (NI 5124)
high-speed digitizer. Unless otherwise noted, these specifications are valid
for the following conditions:
•
•
•
All filter settings
All impedance selections
Sample clock set to 200 MS/s using onboard clock
Typical values are representative of an average unit operating at room
temperature. Specifications are subject to change without notice. For the
most recent NI 5124 specifications, visit ni.com/manuals.
To access the NI 5124 documentation, including the NI High-Speed
of the NI 5124 signals, navigate to Start»All Programs»National
Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Documentation.
Hot Surface If the NI 5124 has been in use, it may exceed safe handling temperatures and
cause burns. Allow the NI 5124 to cool before removing it from the PXI chassis or PC.

TClk Specifications
National Instruments TClk synchronization method and the NI-TClk driver
are used to align the sample clocks on any number of SMC-based modules
in a chassis. For more information about TClk synchronization, refer to the
NI-TClk Synchronization Help, which is located within the NI High-Speed
Digitizers Help.
•
Specifications are valid for any number of modules installed in one
NI PXI-1042 chassis.
•
•
•
All parameters set to identical values for each SMC-based module.

Note To ensure that the NI PCI-5124 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 NI PCI-5124 kit
for important cooling information. The NI PCI-5124 is intended for indoor use only.
