Description
The PXI-5421 is part of the PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators category, designed to meet a variety of demanding applications. This model is available under part numbers 778697-01, 778697-02, 778697-03, and 778697-04. It boasts a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz and a resolution of 16 bits, ensuring high-quality signal generation.
With a maximum sampling rate of 100 MS/s, it is capable of handling fast signal processing tasks efficiently. This model is equipped with 1 channel and offers onboard memory options of 8 MB, 32 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB, providing flexibility in storage capacity for complex waveform generation.
The output enable feature is software-selectable, adding an extra layer of control for the user. In terms of durability, the CH 0 output can be connected to a 50 Ω, ±12 V (±8 V for Direct Path) source without damage, and shorting CH 0 to ground indefinitely does not cause damage, ensuring reliability and longevity of the device.
For timing precision, its internal sample clocks can be locked to a reference clock or derived from the onboard VCXO frequency reference, providing flexibility in synchronization options. The device weighs 12.1 oz. and has dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches, making it a compact and lightweight option for integration into a variety of systems.
Lastly, a mature status notification has been announced for the PXI-5421, indicating its established presence in the market and reliability over time.
