This document lists the specifications for the NI PXI/PCI-5114 (NI 5114)
high-speed digitizer. Unless otherwise noted, these specifications are valid
for the following conditions:
•All filter settings
•All impedance selections
•Sample clock set to 250 MS/s
Typical values are representative of an average unit operating at room
temperature. Specifications are subject to change without notice. For the
most recent NI 5114 specifications, visit
To access the NI 5114 documentation, including the NI High-Speed Digitizers Getting Started Guide, which contains functional descriptions
of the NI 5114 signals, navigate to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Documentation.
Hot Surface If the NI 5114 has been in use, it may exceed safe handling temperatures and
cause burns. Allow the NI 5114 to cool before removing it from the PXI chassis or PC.
Refer to the Environment section for operating temperatures of this device.
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 to250 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.

Self-CalibrationSelf-calibration is done on software command. The calibration
corrects for gain, offset, compensated 1 MΩ attenuator, triggering,
and timing adjustment errors for all input ranges.

Note To ensure that the NI PCI-5114 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-5114 kit
for important cooling information. The NI PCI-5114 is intended for indoor use only.
