Description
The PXIe-5442 is a high-performance PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator designed to meet a wide range of testing and simulation needs. This model is identified by several part numbers, including 780109-01, 780109-02, 780109-03, and 196749A-03, ensuring versatility and compatibility across various setups.
As a member of the PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators category, the PXIe-5442 is equipped with a single output channel. This channel can deliver outputs with a bandwidth of less than 43 MHz at -3 dB, offering precision and clarity in signal generation. The device accommodates both 50 Ω and 75 Ω (nominal) output impedance, providing flexibility for different impedance requirements.
In terms of resolution, the PXIe-5442 boasts a 16-Bit Analog Output Resolution, ensuring high fidelity and detail in waveform generation. The device also features a software-selectable Analog Filter, allowing users to tailor the output signal to their specific needs. Connectivity is facilitated through two SMB jacks (bidirectional), enabling easy integration into existing systems.
One of the standout features of the PXIe-5442 is its support for Onboard Signal Processing (OSP) and Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) Technology. These technologies enhance the waveform generator’s performance, providing advanced signal processing capabilities and seamless synchronization for complex testing scenarios.
Software support is comprehensive, with compatibility with LabVIEW, LabWindows™, and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, offering users a range of programming environments to work with. Additionally, the device supports the Modulation Toolkit for LabVIEW, further extending its capabilities in signal generation and analysis.
Among its advanced features, the PXIe-5442 includes Pulse-Shaping Filters, Carrier Frequencies up to 43 MHz with 355 nHz Resolution, Continuous Data Streaming up to 200 MB/s, FIR Interpolation Filter, and a 400 MS/s Effective Sampling Rate with DAC Interpolation. These features make the
