Description
The NI PXI-5422 is a state-of-the-art PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator designed for high-speed, precision applications. With a part number of 191946E-02L, this unit is a crucial component in a wide range of electrical testing and simulation environments. The PXI-5422 offers a remarkable 200 MS/s maximum update rate and a 16-bit resolution, ensuring high fidelity waveform generation with a maximum bandwidth of 80 MHz.
This waveform generator is equipped with a variety of memory options, including sizes of 8 MB (part number 779087-01), 32 MB (part number 779087-02), 256 MB (part number 779087-03), and 512 MB (part number 779087-04), providing users the flexibility to choose the memory size that best fits their application requirements. The 32MB option, in particular, allows for 4 times longer playback, enhancing the device’s capability in extended waveform generation tasks.
For user convenience, this model supports an array of software including the NI-FGEN driver and the FGEN Soft Front Panel. It requires an Application Development Environment (ADE) for application development, making it a versatile tool for both simple function generation and complex waveform creation and manipulation.
The PXI-5422 features multiple I/O Connectors such as CH 0, CLK IN (SMB jack), PFI 0 (SMB jack), PFI 1 (SMB jack), and DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL (68-pin VHDCI female receptacle), ensuring easy integration into existing setups. Moreover, it supports an External PLL Reference Clock, allowing for synchronization with other instruments or external time bases for more complex testing scenarios.
Regular calibration is available and recommended either annually or every two years to maintain accuracy and performance. This ensures that the PXI-5422 continues to deliver reliable and precise results over its lifespan.
