Trigger rearm time on 5112

[JE]

Hello,

I have a Niscope 5112 card with 16MB/ch memory option. I would like to sample at 100 MS/s during 5us (500 samples) with a 100 Hz repetition rate. The total amount of repetitions will be 2000, which amounts to 2000 x 500 = 1M data points. I think there should be no problem for the board to be able to handle that, I just like to confirm, making sure I am not missing anything. In particular I was wondering about the time required for the trigger to rearm.

Thanks,

Jerome.

Hi Jerome,

The rearm time for the NI 5112 High Speed Digitizer is 100us, so you are correct in saying that there will be no problem with this board handling your application. With a repetition rate of 100 Hz, you have a choice of using software rearmed single records to capture your data, or you could set up a multiple-record acquisition. The examples that ship with NI-SCOPE will help you either way.
