Description
The PCI-5402 part number 195177A-01 is a high-performance function generator that supports a wide range of applications with its versatile features. This model is capable of generating sine and square waves up to 20 MHz and triangle/ramp waves up to 1 MHz, making it suitable for a variety of signal processing tasks.
The amplitude range of the PCI-5402 extends from -5 V to +5 V, allowing for a broad spectrum of signal amplitudes. The signal generation is accomplished using Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), which ensures high accuracy and stability of the generated signals. It features 1 Analog Output channel, utilizing a BNC connector type for easy and reliable connection.
The analog output resolution of the PCI-5402 is 14 bits, providing fine resolution for generated signals. It has an overload tolerance from -2 V to +7 V, ensuring robustness in various signal conditions. The amplitude resolution is less than 0.06% of the amplitude range, offering precise control over signal amplitude.
Users have the flexibility to select the output impedance, with options for 50 Ω or 75 Ω, to match the impedance of external circuits or devices. The PCI-5402 also features a Selectable FIR Filter, available for use above a 10 MS/s sample clock rate, providing additional signal processing capabilities.
The frequency resolution of this model is an impressive 0.355 μHz, allowing for very fine adjustments to the signal frequency. It supports a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz and a maximum sampling rate of 400 MS/s for sine/square waves, and 100 MS/s for triangle/ramp waves, supporting high-speed signal generation and analysis.
Software support is provided by NI-FGEN and MAX, ensuring easy integration and use with National Instruments software tools. Despite its Obsolete Status announced by National Instruments, the PCI-5402 is still available from <
