Description
The PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator, identified by part number 189561E-03L and model PXI-5422, is a sophisticated device designed to meet the needs of demanding signal generation applications. It supports self-calibration, ensuring accurate performance and reducing the need for frequent manual calibrations. This device offers a variety of memory options, including 8 MB (779087-01), 32 MB (779087-02), 256 MB (779087-03), and 512 MB (779087-04), allowing users to select the memory capacity that best fits their requirements.
With a maximum bandwidth of 80 MHz and a maximum update rate of 200 MS/s, the PXI-5422 is capable of generating complex waveforms with high precision and speed. It utilizes NI-FGEN driver software for ease of integration and programming. The device’s flexibility is further enhanced by its I/O connectors, which include CH 0, CLK IN (SMB jack), PFI 0 (SMB jack), PFI 1 (SMB jack), and DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL (68-pin VHDCI female receptacle).
Additionally, the PXI-5422 supports both a PLL reference clock and an external trigger, enabling synchronization with other instruments in a test system. Despite its mature status, having been announced for some time, it remains a viable option for many applications. Calibration services for the device are available, with a recommendation for calibration either annually or every two years to maintain accuracy and reliability.
