Description
The PXI-5421 is a high-performance PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator that features a variety of specifications making it versatile for a wide range of applications. It is available in four part numbers: 778697-01, 778697-02, 778697-03, and 778697-04, each corresponding to different memory options to suit various user needs.
With a sample rate of 100 MS/s and a resolution of 16 bits, this arbitrary waveform generator delivers precise and accurate waveforms. The memory options available for this model include 8 MB (778697-01), 32 MB (778697-02), 256 MB (778697-03), and 512 MB (778697-04), allowing users to choose the most suitable memory capacity for their specific requirements.
The PXI-5421 supports a single channel and offers a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz. Its output is highly customizable with a software-selectable output enable feature, ensuring flexibility in various test setups. The maximum output overload is specified at 50 Ω, ±12 V (±8 V for Direct Path), indicating its robustness in handling different load conditions.
Furthermore, the device allows for both internal and external clock sources through a phase-locked loop or VCXO, ensuring synchronization with other devices in a test system is seamless. This waveform generator has a weight of 12.1 oz. and dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in., making it compact and suitable for integration into various PXI systems.
Compatibility with driver software is extensive, including NI-FGEN, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. This ensures that the PXI-5421 can be easily integrated into existing setups with minimal effort, allowing users to leverage its capabilities with the software tools they are already familiar with.
