Description
The PXI-5421 is identified by part numbers 778697-01, 778697-02, 778697-03, and 778697-04. This model is a high-performance 1-slot 3U PXI module designed for various applications. It boasts a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s and a resolution of 16-bit, providing precise signal generation capabilities.
With a maximum onboard memory of 512 MB, it can handle large waveforms with ease. The module offers a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz, suitable for a wide range of frequencies. Despite its advanced features, it maintains a single-channel configuration, ensuring focused and high-quality signal generation.
The PXI-5421 is compatible with NI-FGEN driver software, which facilitates easy integration and control within test systems. It features a software-selectable output enable feature, providing flexibility in signal generation. The module is designed to withstand maximum output overload conditions of ±12 V (±8 V for the Direct Path), and it can handle output short conditions to ground indefinitely without damage, ensuring durability and reliability.
Users have the option to choose between an internal or external clock source, allowing for precise synchronization with other instruments. The PXI-5421 weighs 12.1 oz. and has dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in, making it compact and easy to integrate into PXI systems. National Instruments has announced the mature status notification for this model, indicating its established reliability and support.
For calibration, users can opt for a NIST accredited calibration through a third party or a basic, unaccredited in-house calibration, ensuring that the module meets specific standards and accuracy requirements. This flexibility in calibration options allows organizations to choose the level of certification that best fits their needs.
