Description
The National Instruments PXIe-5450 PXI Waveform Generator is a sophisticated device that offers a dual-channel output with each channel capable of providing a resolution bandwidth of up to 145 MHz and an I/Q bandwidth of 120 MHz. This generator is designed to efficiently handle complex signals, thanks to its 50 Ohm output impedance, which is effectively 100 Ohms when differential, and flexible output attenuation levels ranging from 0 to 3 dB.
With advanced clocking capabilities, the PXIe-5450 supports both high-resolution internal clocking and external clocking options, catering to a variety of synchronization requirements. Additionally, the sample rate of up to 400 MS/s ensures high-speed signal generation, making it suitable for testing and simulation purposes in a wide range of applications.
The onboard waveform memory comes in two configurations, with 128 MB available for part number 780419-01 and an enhanced 512 MB for part number 780419-02, allowing users to store and execute complex waveforms directly from the device. Moreover, the generator can deliver a maximum differential output amplitude of 1.0 Vpk-pk into a 100 Ohm differential load, providing sufficient power for a myriad of test scenarios.
Connectivity is also a strong suit of the PXIe-5450, which includes 2 SMB and 6 SMA front panel connectors, facilitating easy integration with other equipment. Compatibility with the NI-FGEN driver means it can be seamlessly used with popular development environments such as LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C/C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic.
Importantly, calibration is available for the PXIe-5450 to ensure accuracy and performance over time. The device supports NIST accredited calibrations, affirming its precision and reliability for professional use.
