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

To access the NI 5124 documentation, including the NI High-Speed Digitizers Getting Started Guide, which contains functional descriptions 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. Refer to the Environment section for operating temperatures of this device.

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.

• Sample Clock set to 200 MS/s and all filters are disabled.

• For other configurations, including multichassis systems, contact NI Technical Support at

Note Although you can use NI-TClk to synchronize nonidentical modules, these

specifications apply only to synchronizing identical modules.

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.
