Description
The National Instruments PCI-5411 Waveform Generator Device, part number 183962G-02, falls under the category of PC-based Arbitrary Waveform Generators. This device, model PCI-5411,16M, employs Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) for signal generation, ensuring high precision and flexibility in generating a wide range of waveforms.
One of the key features of this device is its support for the Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus, allowing for easy integration and synchronization with other instruments. Furthermore, it offers external clock synchronization using the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) method, enhancing its versatility in complex setups.
Users will appreciate the device’s capability for waveform linking and looping, which facilitates the creation of complex waveform sequences without the need for constant manual intervention. The generator provides a single 12-bit analog, DC-coupled output channel, ensuring high-quality signal output.
With a maximum frequency of 16 MHz for TTL signals and 1 MHz for square, ramp, and triangle waveforms, this device caters to a wide range of applications. The frequency resolution in DDS mode is an impressive 9.31 MHz, backed by a 32-bit DDS accumulator resolution, allowing for fine-grained control over the output signal.
The PCI-5411 can achieve a sampling rate of up to 40 MS/sec, offering high-speed performance for demanding applications. It also provides flexibility in impedance matching, with output impedance options of 50 Ω nominal or 75 Ω high impedance. Voltage output can be set to either +5V or +10V, accommodating a variety of usage scenarios.
