183962B-01

Description

The PC-based Arbitrary Waveform Generator with Part Number 183962B-01 is designed for high precision signal generation applications. This model, known as PCI-5411, utilizes DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) for its signal generation method, ensuring accurate and stable waveform outputs.

It supports real-time system integration (RTSI), making it an ideal choice for complex system setups requiring synchronized operations. For external clock synchronization, the device employs a PLL method, which enhances its flexibility in integrated systems.

One of its notable features includes waveform linking and looping, which allows for the creation of complex signal patterns essential in testing and simulation scenarios. The generator is equipped with one 12-bit analog, DC-coupled output channel, providing a reliable means of signal output.

It offers a maximum frequency of 16 MHz for TTL signals and 1 MHz for square, ramp, and triangle waveforms. The frequency resolution in DDS mode is remarkably high at 9.31 MHz, backed by a 32-bit DDS accumulator resolution. This ensures precise control over signal generation.

The sampling rate of the device can reach up to 40 MS/sec, allowing for high-speed waveform generation. Users have the option to select between 50 Ω nominal or 75 Ω high impedance for the output, with voltage outputs of +5V or +10V based on the selected impedance.

In terms of waveform generation, it supports both FM and AM, providing versatility in modulation tasks. The control software includes VirtualBench-FG or VirtualBench-ARB, and NI-FGEN, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for device management and operation.

It is compatible with several Application Development Environments (ADEs) including LabVIEW, VB, and C/C++ environments, ensuring a broad range of development options for users. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available at Apex Waves, offering a valuable resource for those in need of this specific model.
