Description
The National Instruments PXI Vector Signal Transceiver product line includes the PXIe-5842 model, a high-performance module designed for use in demanding applications across semiconductor, aerospace, and defense industries. This model requires a four-slot PXI Express for installation, and a single 18-slot PXI chassis can accommodate up to four PXIe-5842 VSTs, allowing for scalable configurations to meet various testing needs.
The PXIe-5842 is renowned for its FPGA-based real-time signal processing capability, which enables users to execute complex signal analysis and generation tasks efficiently. It comes with high-quality drivers and supports multiple programming languages, including LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, C/C++, and C# (.NET), alongside compatibility with InstrumentStudio. This versatility ensures that users can easily integrate the VST into their existing development environments.
Furthermore, the PXIe-5842 supports Wi-Fi 7 and 5G NR standards, making it an ideal solution for the development and testing of next-generation wireless devices. Interested parties can choose from various available variations to suit their specific frequency requirements, including models with maximum frequencies of 54 GHz, 23 GHz, 12 GHz, and 8 GHz.
To ensure optimal performance, users must install specific driver versions tailored to the instrument. Additionally, the module must be installed in a particular order and orientation within the chassis. The PXI Express Chassis used must meet the PXIe-5842’s requirements in terms of capacity, power, and slot cooling capacity, ensuring a reliable and efficient testing environment.
