Description
The PXIe-5450 is a high-performance PXI Waveform Generator that is designed to meet a wide range of testing and simulation needs. It features two output channels, allowing for versatile signal generation capabilities. The device supports a resolution bandwidth of up to 145 MHz, making it suitable for generating complex waveforms with high fidelity.
The waveform generator is equipped with a baseband I/Q bandwidth of 120 MHz, enhancing its ability to produce accurate baseband modulation signals. Its output impedance is rated at 50 Ω, or 100 Ω when using a differential setup, providing flexibility in connecting to various types of load conditions. Users can adjust the output attenuation levels from 0 to 3 dB to fine-tune the signal output according to their requirements.
With a sample rate of up to 400 MS/s, the PXIe-5450 can generate high-speed waveforms, making it ideal for testing advanced digital and analog devices. The device comes with an onboard waveform memory of 128 MB for the part number 780419-01 and 512 MB for the part number 780419-02, and it offers options for expanding the memory up to 2 GB. This large memory capacity allows for the storage of complex waveforms or long signal sequences.
The differential output amplitude can reach a maximum of 1.0 Vpk-pk into a 100 Ω differential load, providing ample power for driving demanding test scenarios. Connectivity options include 2 SMB and 6 SMA front panel connectors, facilitating easy integration into test setups.
It supports a variety of compatible development environments, including LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C/C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic. This ensures that developers can easily program and control the waveform generator using their preferred development tools.
Calibration services are available for the PXIe-5450, with recommendations for calibration intervals being either annually or every two years to maintain accuracy and performance. The device’s dimensions are 8.5 x 1.6 x
