Description
The PXI-5421 is a highly versatile signal generator module, coming with a range of Part Numbers including 778697-01, 778697-02, 778697-03, and 778697-04. This module is designed to fit within a 1-slot 3U PXI module form factor, making it an optimal choice for a variety of applications requiring high precision and flexibility.
One of the key features of the PXI-5421 is its Maximum Sample Rate of 100 MS/s, combined with a 16-bit resolution. This allows for the generation of highly accurate signals, suitable for demanding applications. To support a wide range of use cases, the module offers Onboard Memory Options including 8 MB, 32 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB, providing ample storage for complex waveforms and patterns.
With a Max Bandwidth of 43 MHz, the PXI-5421 is capable of handling a broad spectrum of signal frequencies. It features a single Output Channel, and the output can be easily enabled or disabled through a Software-selectable Output Enable Feature. This flexibility ensures that the module can be quickly adapted to various testing scenarios.
The device is supported by NI-FGEN driver software, simplifying the process of integrating the module into existing systems and workflows. Additionally, the PXI-5421 has been designed with robustness in mind; its Maximum Output Overload specification indicates that the CH 0 output terminal can withstand connection to a 50 Ω, ±12 V (±8 V for the Direct Path) source without sustaining damage.
For precise timing and synchronization, the module’s internal sample clocks can be locked to a reference clock or derived from the onboard VCXO frequency reference. This feature ensures the generation of accurate and stable output signals in synchronized systems.
The PXI-5421 is also designed to be compact and lightweight, with dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches
