Description
The NI PXI-5422, part number 191946F-01L, falls under the category of PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators. This model is designed to provide exceptional performance and flexibility for a wide range of applications. It features an 8 MB memory without LVDS and includes an EHM Connector that is ROHS compliant, ensuring it meets strict environmental standards.
The device supports self-calibration, which allows for DC Gain and Offset Accuracy adjustments, in addition to tweaking the Analog Output systems to ensure optimal performance. Users have the option to expand the device’s memory with several configurations available, including 8 MB (779087-01), 32 MB (779087-02), 256 MB (779087-03), and 512 MB (779087-04).
With a maximum bandwidth of 80 MHz and a maximum update rate of 200 MS/s, the PXI-5422 is capable of handling demanding applications that require high-speed signal generation. The device is controlled via the NI-FGEN driver software, which simplifies the setup and operation of the waveform generator.
The unit’s I/O connectors include CH 0, CLK IN (SMB jack), PFI 0 (SMB jack), PFI 1 (SMB jack), and DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL (68-pin VHDCI female receptacle), offering a variety of connectivity options for different testing scenarios. Additionally, it supports an external PLL Reference Clock and can be triggered by an external source, enhancing its versatility in complex setups.
The PXI-5422 has reached a mature status, as announced by National Instruments. It remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to rely on this high-quality arbitrary waveform generator for their testing and development needs.
