Description
The Part Number 185120C-02 corresponds to a product in the category of PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators. Specifically, this product is the PXI-5411, 16M model, which is a National Instruments PXI-5411 PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator. This particular model is renowned for its robust features and capabilities.
When it comes to the software interface, the VirtualBench soft front boards along with the NI-FGEN instrument driver are utilized. These software interfaces aid in the efficient and effective management of the waveform generator, enhancing its functionality and user experience.
The VirtualBench features are particularly notable. They include the ability to acquire, control, analyze, and present data. Additionally, they are compatible with PCs, offering additional processing, storage, and display capabilities. Users appreciate the support for waveform data loading and saving in formats that are compatible with spreadsheet programs and word processors. This functionality is complemented by the ability to generate reports that can include timestamps, measurements, user names, and comments, and even allows for the printing of waveforms and settings.
Regarding memory storage, the device stores arbitrary waveforms as 16-bit digital words. Importantly, the 12 most significant bits are utilized for the digital channel and the DAC, ensuring high-quality data representation and storage.
Finally, the Trigger Sources for this PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator are highly versatile. They are software selectable and include options such as an external trigger (via digital I/O connector pin), RTSI trigger lines, and TTL trigger lines on the PXI trigger bus. This flexibility is essential for a wide range of applications, allowing for seamless integration into various setups and experiments.
