Description
The PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators, with a part number of 189561C-02 and model PXI-5422, are designed to meet a broad range of testing requirements. These generators are capable of self-calibration, ensuring accuracy in the gain and offset of fundamental and direct analog paths, enhancing reliability and precision in generated waveforms.
They offer flexible memory options including 8 MB (779087-01), 32 MB (779087-02), 256 MB (779087-03), and 512 MB (779087-04), catering to various application needs from simple to complex waveform generation. With a maximum bandwidth of 80 MHz and a maximum update rate of 200 MS/s, these generators are well-suited for creating high-frequency signals with rapid changes.
Supported by NI-FGEN driver software, integration and programming become straightforward, allowing for easy setup and customization of waveforms. The unit features multiple I/O connectors, including CH 0, CLK IN (SMB jack), PFI 0 (SMB jack), PFI 1 (SMB jack), and DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL (68-pin VHDCI female receptacle), offering versatility in connectivity options.
The inclusion of a PLL reference clock and support for external triggering sources provides synchronization capabilities for complex testing setups. This ensures that waveforms can be precisely controlled and aligned with external events, making it ideal for applications requiring high timing accuracy.
These waveform generators have reached a mature status, as announced by National Instruments. However, they remain available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support and availability. Additionally, calibration services are available and recommended annually or every two years to maintain optimal performance and accuracy.
