Description
The PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators, particularly model PXI-5412 with part number 192273F-01L, are sophisticated devices designed for a wide range of applications. These devices come in various memory configurations to suit different needs, including 8 MB (779176-01), 32 MB (779176-02), and 256 MB (779176-03).
With a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz and an update rate that reaches up to 100 MS/s, these waveform generators are equipped to deliver high performance and flexibility. The device operates smoothly with NI-FGEN driver software, ensuring easy integration and use.
They are also compatible with several software packages and Application Development Environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, further enhancing their versatility in various programming scenarios. Before using the device, it is recommended to allow a warm-up time of 15 minutes to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, to maintain accuracy, a calibration is advised at least once every 2 years.
The operating temperature range for these generators is from 0 °C to 55 °C, with a storage temperature range of -25 °C to 85 °C, allowing them to perform reliably in a wide range of environments. National Instruments has announced the mature status of these devices, however, they remain available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves.
For those requiring precise calibration, NIST accredited calibrations are available through a third party, in addition to basic in-house calibration to manufacturer specifications. This ensures that the PXI-5412 continues to provide accurate and reliable outputs for all its applications.
