Description
The National Instruments PCI-5402 is a function generator part number 192888C-01, designed to deliver high-quality signal generation capabilities. It is capable of generating 20 MHz Sine and Square waves, and 1 MHz Triangle and Ramp waves, catering to a wide range of applications in research, development, and testing.
This model features a variety of signal types including Standard, Pseudorandom Noise, and DC, providing versatility for various testing scenarios. The amplitude range is quite flexible, spanning from -5 V to +5 V, allowing for precise control over the signal output.
The PCI-5402 utilizes Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) for its signal generation method, ensuring high accuracy and stability of the output signals. It is equipped with one output channel and uses a BNC connector type for easy and reliable connection to other instruments or devices.
With an analog output resolution of 14 bits, this function generator provides fine granularity in signal amplitude, ensuring that the output closely matches the desired waveform. The device is designed to tolerate overloads from -2 V to +7 V, protecting it against unexpected voltage spikes.
The amplitude resolution is less than 0.06% of the amplitude range, offering precise control over the signal’s amplitude. Users can select the output impedance between 50 Ω or 75 Ω, depending on the requirements of the connected load.
For applications requiring higher sample rates, a selectable FIR filter is available for sample clock rates greater than 10 MS/s. The frequency resolution of the PCI-5402 is an impressive 0.355 μHz, allowing for extremely precise frequency settings.
The maximum bandwidth of this function generator is 20 MHz, with a maximum sampling rate of 400 MS/s for 20 MHz signals, and 100 MS/s for 1 MHz signals. Such high sampling rates ensure that even the most demanding waveform requirements can be met with ease.
