Description
The NI-5741 is a signal generator adapter module designed for FlexRIO systems, carrying the part number 782864-01. Manufactured by National Instruments, this module is an essential component in a variety of applications including communications, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and scientific instrumentation.
Equipped with 16 analog output channels, the NI-5741 provides a single-ended, DC-coupled output through a VHDCI connector. These channels can output voltages ranging from -2.5 V to 2.5 V, with a digital resolution of 16-Bit and a maximum sampling rate of 1 MS/s. This makes the module highly suited for precise signal generation requirements in complex testing and research environments.
The module also features an HDMI connector for auxiliary I/O, supporting up to 12 bidirectional channels, including 8 digital I/O (DIO) and 4 programmable function input/output (PFI) channels. This flexibility allows users to adapt the module to a wide range of auxiliary signaling and control tasks.
Compatibility with Kintex-7 and Virtex-5 FPGAs ensures that users can integrate the NI-5741 with some of the most powerful programmable logic devices available, leveraging an internal FPGA-based data clock as the sample clock source. This integration capability underscores the module’s suitability for high-performance applications that require rapid, accurate signal processing and generation.
