NI PXI/PCI-5114 Specifications
8-Bit 250 MS/s Digitizer
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.
