Issue Details

The PXIe-5160/5162 has 2/4 channels. In the Getting Started Guide, the SA1000X is recommended as an active probe. Can we directly connect these probes to each channel?

Solution

No, you need some BNC extension cables to maintain the physical spacing between two SA1000X probes when placed next to each other.
