Description
The PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators, specifically the PXI-5422, is identified by its part number 200347A-01. This model offers a variety of memory options to cater to diverse application needs, including 8 MB (779087-01), 32 MB (779087-02), 256 MB (779087-03), and 512 MB (779087-04). It boasts a maximum bandwidth of 80 MHz and can achieve a maximum update rate of 200 MS/s, ensuring high performance for generating complex waveforms.
For software integration, the PXI-5422 uses the NI-FGEN driver software, making it compatible with a wide range of application development environments. The device includes multiple I/O connectors, such as CH 0, CLK IN (SMB jack), PFI 0 (SMB jack), PFI 1 (SMB jack), and a DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL (68-pin VHDCI female receptacle), providing flexibility in connecting and synchronizing with other devices in a test system.
An External PLL Reference Clock is used for the reference clock, ensuring precise timing and synchronization capabilities. Moreover, the PXI-5422 features external source trigger capability, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into automated test systems that require synchronicity with other instruments or events.
This device has reached its mature status, as announced by National Instruments, but remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. To maintain its accuracy and performance, calibration services are available, with a recommendation for calibration to be performed annually or every two years, depending on the usage intensity and required precision.
