Description
The product described by the specifications table is a high-performance, 16-channel digital waveform generator and analyzer known as the PXI-6561. It comes with part numbers 778993-01, 778993-02, and 778993-03, each differing primarily in onboard memory capacity, which are 2 Mb, 16 Mb, and 128 Mb respectively. This variability in memory allows for flexibility depending on the application’s specific requirements.
The PXI-6561 boasts a maximum sampling rate of 100 MHz, ensuring high-speed data processing and waveform generation. This device is designed to be compatible with LVDS signals, providing versatility in handling various types of digital signals. Additionally, the maximum number of waveforms that can be stored in memory is user-defined, offering customization based on the user’s needs.
Regarding its operation modes, the PXI-6561 supports both single-waveform mode and scripted mode, allowing for simple executions or complex sequencing of waveforms. It is equipped with multiple triggers, including Start Trigger, Pause Trigger, Script Trigger, Advance Trigger, and Reference Trigger, facilitating intricate test setups and synchronization with other devices.
The PXI-6561 is compatible with several development environments, including LabVIEW 7.0 (or later), Microsoft Visual C/C++ 6.0 or later, and LabWindows™/CVI™ 6.0 or later. This compatibility ensures that users can easily integrate the device into existing systems or develop custom applications to meet their specific requirements.
Physically, the PXI-6561 measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches and weighs 12 oz, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any PXI system. Despite being declared obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users who rely on this vital piece of equipment.
