The PXI-5421 is a high-performance waveform generator that is designed to meet a wide range of testing and simulation needs. This model comes with different part numbers corresponding to its memory options: 778697-01 for 8MB, 778697-02 for 32MB, 778697-03 for 256MB, and 778697-04 for 512MB.
It boasts a sample rate of 100 MS/s and a resolution of 16-bit, ensuring high-quality output for precise applications. The memory options available are 8MB, 32MB, 256MB, and 512MB, allowing users to choose the most appropriate size for their specific needs.
The device delivers a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz and features one output channel. It is designed to handle a maximum output overload of 50 Ω, ±12 V (±8 V for Direct Path), ensuring reliable performance under various conditions. The output enable feature is software-selectable, providing flexibility in usage.
The output impedance is effectively a 1 W resistor equal to the selected output impedance when disabled. This model includes a clock source that is internal, PLL locked to a reference clock, or an onboard VCXO frequency reference, offering versatile synchronization options.
Supported by NI-FGEN driver software, the PXI-5421 is compatible with several development environments, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. This compatibility ensures seamless integration into a wide range of test and measurement setups.
With a weight of 12.1 oz., this device is relatively lightweight, making it an excellent choice for both stationary and mobile applications. The dimensions further contribute to its compact and efficient design, suitable for integration into various testing environments
