Description
The PXI-5421 is a versatile and high-performance waveform generator with multiple part numbers, including 778697-01, 778697-02, 778697-03, and 778697-04. Each of these part numbers corresponds to different memory options available for the device, specifically 8 MB (778697-01), 32 MB (778697-02), 256 MB (778697-03), and 512 MB (778697-04), allowing users to select the memory capacity that best fits their application needs.
With a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz and a resolution of 16-bit, the PXI-5421 delivers precise and accurate waveform generation. It is capable of a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s, providing high-speed performance for a variety of testing scenarios. The device features a single output channel with a software-selectable output enable feature, offering flexibility in signal generation.
The PXI-5421 is designed to withstand maximum output overload conditions up to 50 Ω and ±12 V (±8 V for Direct Path) source without sustaining damage, ensuring durability and long-term performance. Users can choose between an internal or external clock source via phase-locked loop or onboard VCXO frequency reference, providing versatility in synchronization and timing.
With a weight of 12.1 oz. and dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in, the PXI-5421 is compact and suitable for integration into various test and measurement setups. The device has received a mature status notification from National Instruments but remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Additionally, calibration services are available, ensuring that the PXI-5421 maintains its accuracy
