    Description

    The PXI-5421 is a versatile signal generator that comes with a series of part numbers including 778697-01, 778697-02, 778697-03, and 778697-04. This model is capable of delivering a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s and boasts a resolution of 16-bit, ensuring high-fidelity signal generation suitable for a variety of applications.

    It offers a substantial maximum onboard memory of 512 MB, allowing for extensive waveform storage and complex signal generation. The PXI-5421 is designed as a 1-slot 3U PXI module, making it a compact and efficient solution for integrating into PXI systems.

    This module is highly applicable in fields such as Communications, Consumer Electronics, Scientific Research, Automotive, and Military/Aviation, showcasing its versatility across different sectors. One of its standout features is the download speed improvement, being up to 280 times faster than GPIB-based generators, which significantly enhances productivity and reduces setup time.

    It has one output channel with a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz, and utilizes NI-FGEN driver software for operation. The output enable feature is software-selectable, providing ease of use and flexibility in signal generation. Moreover, the module is designed to withstand a maximum output overload of 50 Ω, ±12 V (±8 V for the Direct Path) without damage, ensuring durability and reliability.

    Its internal sample clocks can be locked to a reference clock or derived from the onboard VCXO frequency reference, offering precision and stability in signal generation. Despite its robust capabilities, the PXI-5421 maintains a modest weight of 12.1, making it an excellent choice for both stationary and mobile applications where performance and portability are key.
