Description
The product detailed under part number 183962-02 falls within the category of PC-based Arbitrary Waveform Generators. Specifically, this model, the PCI-5411, is a high-performance piece of equipment designed for a variety of applications. It is a NI 5411 40 MHz, 16 MB Arbitrary Waveform Generator for PCI, hardware only, tailored for those who require precision and flexibility in generating complex waveforms.
The PCI-5411 utilizes Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) as its signal generation method. This technique allows for precise control over waveform generation, making it an ideal choice for users who need to simulate real-world scenarios or create unique waveforms. The generator supports RTSI (Real-Time System Integration), enabling seamless integration with other hardware components for complex system configurations.
For applications requiring synchronization with external clocks, this device employs Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) technology, ensuring that output signals are in sync with external time references. A standout feature of the PCI-5411 is its capability for waveform linking and looping, which provides users with the flexibility to create extended sequences of waveforms with ease.
With only 1 output channel, the device still manages to deliver high-quality signals with a 12-bit output resolution. The output type is DC-coupled, offering a clean, consistent signal for a variety of applications. The maximum TTL waveform frequency that can be achieved is 16 MHz, while it can also generate square, ramp, and triangle signals at frequencies up to 1 MHz.
The frequency resolution in DDS mode is an impressive 9.31 MHz, backed by a 32-bit DDS accumulator resolution. This high level of precision ensures that users can generate exactly the waveforms they need. The sampling rate of up to 40 MS/sec further underscores the device’s capability to handle demanding waveform generation tasks, making it a versatile tool for engineers and researchers alike.
