Description
The 778715-01 is part of the Timing and Synchronization category, specifically it’s a model PXI-6653. This module is designed for Multichassis Synchronization and features an onboard Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) for precise timing needs. The front panel of this device is equipped with 1 CLKOUT, 1 CLKIN, PFI <0..5>, 1 Access LED, and 1 Active LED, ensuring versatile connectivity and clear indication of the module’s status.
Regarding power requirements, it has a maximum consumption of 2 A at +5 V, 600 mA at +3.3 V, 500 mA at +12 V, and it does not require any power at -12 V. This module only requires one 3U PXI slot for installation, making it a compact and efficient option for various applications. It weighs 203 g, adding minimal weight to your setup.
The PXI-6653 is capable of supporting PXI_Star and PXI_Trig signals and offers flexible signal routing. It can route a 10 MHz clock from CLKIN to the reference clock or PXI_STAR lines and can lock the OCXO to an external reference clock. The CLKIN frequency range supported is 1 MHz to 105 MHz, accommodating a wide range of external clock sources.
For software compatibility, it utilizes NI-Sync drivers, ensuring seamless integration with your existing systems. The operating temperature range is 0 to 55 °C, and it can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 to 70 °C. It is designed to withstand vibrations of 0.3 grms when operating and 2.4 grms when not operating (5 to 500 Hz), ensuring reliability in various environmental conditions.
Although this product has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Additionally, calibration services are available, with options for NIST accredited or in
