Description
The PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators, specifically model PXI-5402, come with part numbers 195176A-01, 779655-01, 192887E-01L. These devices are designed to deliver high-performance waveform generation capabilities with a focus on flexibility and accuracy. The PXI-5402 model specializes in generating precise sine and square waveforms up to 20 MHz and triangle/ramp waveforms up to 1 MHz.
This arbitrary waveform generator offers an output range from -5 V to +5 V, ensuring versatility for a wide range of applications. With a 14-bit resolution, it provides fine control over waveform generation, allowing for detailed signal simulation and testing. The device operates at a maximum update rate of 100 MS/s, enabling users to achieve high-speed waveform output without sacrificing quality.
Equipped with 1 Analog Output, the PXI-5402 leverages Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technology, ensuring accurate and stable waveform generation. For maintaining optimal performance, it is recommended that the device undergoes calibration at least once every 2 years.
The PXI-5402 supports NI-FGEN driver software (version 2.4 or later), and is compatible with popular software environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Microsoft C. This compatibility ensures that users can easily integrate the generator into their existing setups without the need for extensive modifications.
As announced by National Instruments, the PXI-5402 has reached its mature status but remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on this high-quality waveform generator for their precision testing and simulation needs.
