Description
The PC-based Arbitrary Waveform Generators, with the part number 183962C-02, is a high-performance device designed for a variety of applications. The model PCI-5411, 16M, features a single 12-bit analog, DC-coupled output channel, ensuring precise waveform generation and versatile functionality.
It boasts a maximum frequency of 16 MHz for TTL signals and can generate square, ramp, and triangle waveforms up to 1 MHz. The frequency resolution in DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) mode is an impressive 9.31 MHz, supported by a 32-bit DDS accumulator resolution, which enhances the accuracy of waveform generation.
The generator’s sampling rate is capable of reaching up to 40 MS/sec, allowing for the creation of intricate and detailed waveforms. Users have the flexibility to choose between 50 Ω nominal or 75 Ω high impedance output options, with voltage output levels of +5V or +10V depending on the selected impedance.
It supports sophisticated waveform generation techniques such as FM and AM, catering to a wide range of signal modulation needs. The device is controlled via the VirtualBench-FG, VirtualBench-ARB, and NI-FGEN drivers, providing a user-friendly interface for complex waveform creation.
Compatibility with LabVIEW, VB, and C/C++ environments ensures that the generator can be seamlessly integrated into various application development environments (ADEs), offering versatility for developers and engineers. Despite being classified as obsolete, this model is still available from Apex Waves, offering a valuable option for specific technical requirements.
