SKU NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS USB-5681 Category Manufacturer Model Number

Description

Pushing the boundaries of RF power measurement, the National Instruments USB-5681 power meter breaks new ground with its incredibly high frequency range. Unlike its predecessor, the USB-5680, this instrument tackles signals up to a staggering 18 GHz. This expanded capability caters to modern RF applications that utilize increasingly higher frequencies. Maintaining the strengths of the USB-5680, the USB-5681 boasts True RMS measurement for accurate readings of complex waveforms and a wide dynamic range to handle diverse power levels. The bus-powered USB connection ensures portability and eliminates the need for a bulky power supply, making it ideal for field measurements or tight workspaces. Combined with its high accuracy and software compatibility with NI-DAQmx, the USB-5681 is a powerful tool for engineers and researchers working on cutting-edge RF technologies.
