The PCI-6561 is a Digital Waveform Generator manufactured by National Instruments. This device is designed to cater to a variety of digital testing and simulation needs with its robust set of features.
It comes with multiple part numbers including 778991-01, 778991-02, and 778991-03, ensuring versatility for different configurations and requirements. The PCI-6561 is capable of reaching a maximum frequency of 100 MHz and is equipped with 16 data channels, providing ample bandwidth for generating complex waveforms and patterns.
One of the key features of the PCI-6561 is its synchronization capability, which allows for precise timing and alignment with other instruments and signals. The device supports various signal generation sources including an On Board clock, CLK IN, and STROBE, offering flexibility in signal sourcing. The On-Board Clock Frequency Range spans from 48 Hz to 100 MHz, while the CLK IN Frequency Range covers 20 kHz to 100 MHz, and the STROBE Frequency Range matches the On-Board range, providing a wide array of frequency options for signal generation.
The clock resolution is impressively fine at 10 ps, allowing for high-precision signal timing. The typical lock time is around 400 ms, and the device features a reference clock frequency range of 10 MHz ± 50 ppm. It supports a duty cycle range from 25% to 75%, catering to a wide variety of waveform shapes.
For software compatibility, the PCI-6561 uses NI-HSDIO driver software and is compatible with several programming environments including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Microsoft Visual C/C++, and .NET. Configuration and testing can be performed using the
