Description
The National Instruments PXI-6542 Digital Waveform Instrument is a versatile piece of equipment compatible with a range of software including the Digital Waveform Editor, NI LabVIEW, LabVIEW SignalExpress, and C, providing a wide array of development options for users.
It comes in various memory configurations, offering 1 Mbit/channel (Part Number 778953-01), 8 Mbit/channel (Part Number 778953-02), and 64 Mbit/channel (Part Number 778953-03), to suit different application needs.
With 32 channels that provide per-channel direction control and a maximum clock rate of 100 MHz, it is designed to handle complex digital waveforms efficiently.
The device ensures precise timing and synchronization through the NI Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) device, and it can be phase synchronized with the 10 MHz PXI backplane clock. Additionally, it supports an external reference which can be imported via the SMB connector.
Among its notable features, the PXI-6542 includes interactive waveform and script editor software which enhances user interaction and ease of use.
Despite its mature status, the PXI-6542 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support for existing setups.
