PXI-5922

I. Product Introduction The PXI-5922 is a 3U single-slot PXI high-precision digitizer / oscilloscope launched by National Instruments (NI). Its core is the Flex II ADC variable resolution architecture, featuring dual-channel synchronous sampling, with a bandwidth of 6 MHz, a maximum resolution of 24 bits, and a sampling rate of 15 MS/s. It is mainly designed for high dynamic range, low noise, and flexible resolution, and is suitable for audio, vibration, sonar, precise voltage, and low-frequency RF signal acquisition and analysis by NI.

VII. Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Installation and Power On

Install to a single slot position, with the chassis reliably grounded; preheat for 10 minutes and then perform software self-check.

Keep the air duct unobstructed during operation. The environmental temperature should be ≤ 55℃. Avoid blocking the fan.

For wiring and operation, use 50 Ω BNC cables (50 Ω mode) or high-shielded cables (1 MΩ mode). Avoid wiring in environments with strong interference over long distances.

Input voltage should not exceed ±5 V to prevent front-end overload and damage.

When synchronizing multiple modules, share a 10 MHz reference clock and PXI trigger bus.

Daily Maintenance and Calibration

Perform a traceable calibration once a year to compensate for long-term drift; include built-in self-calibration to correct temperature drift.

Regularly clean the BNC interface. Install a dust cap for long-term inactivity; maintain the environment free of condensation and strong vibrations.

Do not plug or unplug cables while powered on. Interfaces are sensitive to ESD, and perform static protection before operation.
