Description
The NI 5431 is a sophisticated PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator, designed for generating video signals within PXI/Compact PCI systems. With a part number of 777956-01, this module stands out in the category of PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators by offering advanced features tailored for precise and dynamic signal generation tasks.
At its core, the PXI-5431 utilizes DDS-based (Direct Digital Synthesis) waveform generation technology. This method, specifically through Coordinate Digital Synthesis mode, allows for highly precise and stable frequency generation. It is complemented by a 12-bit DAC resolution, ensuring detailed and accurate signal reproduction.
The module is known for its high frequency precision and resolution, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring meticulous signal control. Additionally, it supports temperature stability, ensuring reliable performance under varying environmental conditions.
One of the PXI-5431’s notable features includes wideband tuning, allowing for a broad range of frequency adjustments. This is further enhanced by its capability for fast and phase-continuous frequency switching, enabling rapid changes in output signals without losing phase continuity. Such features are invaluable in testing and simulation environments where flexibility and speed are paramount.
The module also offers a SYNC output, which provides a TTL form of the sine waveform, facilitating synchronization with other devices or modules within a test setup. Moreover, it supports a DC offset of up to ±2.5 V before attenuation, allowing for further signal customization.
Finally, the PXI-5431 can handle a maximum input of ±5 V into 50 Ω under certain conditions, providing a versatile range for signal input. This capability, combined with its other features, makes the NI 5431 an efficient and flexible solution for generating complex video signals in PXI/Compact PCI systems.
