Description
The National Instruments PCI-5421 is an Arbitrary Waveform Generator Device that comes with a variety of memory options to cater to different user needs. These options include 8 MB (778692-01), 32 MB (778692-02), and 256 MB (778692-03), providing flexibility in terms of data storage and waveform complexity.
This device features a single output channel with an SMB (jack) connector, which is DC-coupled and boasts a 16-bit DAC resolution, ensuring high-quality signal generation. The maximum bandwidth supported by the PCI-5421 is 43 MHz, accompanied by a 7-pole elliptical filter for signal purity and minimal distortion.
In addition to its output capabilities, the PCI-5421 also offers two bidirectional channels with SMB (jack) connectors, supporting frequencies from DC to 105 MHz. This feature enhances the device’s versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The maximum input overload tolerance of the device is between -2 to +7 V voltage, providing robustness against signal surges.
The PCI-5421 is classified as a mature product, yet it remains available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support for users relying on this sophisticated piece of equipment for their arbitrary waveform generation needs.
