Description
The PXIe-6674T is a System Timing Module designed for Timing and Synchronization in complex systems. Manufactured by National Instruments, it is a critical system element for the Standard Test and Measurement System (STS) and CompactPCI Express (CCA). The module’s primary functionality is to create and synchronize clocks and triggers between devices in PXI Express chassis and external instruments, ensuring precise timing and synchronization across various components.
It supports a variety of signals, including LVDS PXIe-DStarA, PXIe-DStarB, PXIe-DStarC, and PXI trigger lines, making it highly versatile for different system configurations. With its advanced clock generation capabilities, it can provide a 10 MHz output from an Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) and can generate frequencies up to 1 GHz using Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), with the potential to reach beyond 1 GHz, although not specifically defined.
The PXIe-6674T can be fully configured with NI-Sync software, allowing for easy setup and customization according to specific requirements. It also features two front-panel LEDs for quick status indication, helping users monitor the system’s state at a glance. With part numbers including 781037-01, 199223G-01L, 199225D-01, and 200086A-01, this module offers a range of options for integration into various systems, ensuring that precise timing and synchronization are always at the forefront of system performance.
