Description
The product with the part number 778991-03 falls under the category of PC-based Digital Instruments. Specifically, it is the model PCI-6561. This device is a NI PCI-6561 Digital Waveform Generator, designed to operate at a frequency range of 100 MHz, featuring LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) with a data storage capacity of 128 Mbit/chan.
The frequency range for the onboard clock of this device spans from 48 Hz to 100 MHz. When utilizing an external clock input (CLK IN), the frequency range is slightly narrower, from 20 kHz to 100 MHz. Similarly, the frequency range for the STROBE input also ranges from 48 Hz to 100 MHz. With a clock resolution of 10 ps, this device ensures precise timing for waveform generation. The typical lock time for the device to stabilize is around 400 milliseconds, offering quick setup for operations.
The reference clock frequency range is specified as 10 MHz ± 50 ppm, allowing for a stable and accurate reference signal. The duty cycle of the generated waveforms can vary between 25% and 75%, providing flexibility in waveform generation according to the user’s needs.
For software compatibility, the device uses NI-HSDIO driver software. It supports multiple development environments, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Microsoft Visual C/C++, and .NET, offering versatility for programmers and engineers in various fields. The configuration tool provided for this device is the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), which facilitates easy setup and configuration.
Additionally, this device supports multiple trigger modes, enhancing its flexibility and adaptability in complex digital waveform generation and analysis tasks. This specification makes the PCI-6561 a suitable choice for a wide range of applications requiring precise and flexible digital waveform generation.
