    Description

    The PXI-5421 PXI Waveform Generator is a high-performance device characterized by its part number 778697-03. This device falls under the category of PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators and is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of applications requiring precise waveform generation.

    The model PXI-5421 boasts a resolution of 16 bits, ensuring high fidelity in waveform generation. It is capable of delivering a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s (Mega Samples per second), which is suitable for generating complex waveforms at high speeds. This device features 1 channel, allowing for the generation of one waveform at a time.

    An important aspect of the PXI-5421 is its onboard memory options, which include capacities of 8 MB (778697-01), 32 MB (778697-02), 256 MB (778697-03), and 512 MB (778697-04). These options provide flexibility in terms of waveform length and complexity that can be supported by the device.

    The device is capable of achieving a maximum bandwidth of 43 MHz, which indicates the range of frequencies it can accurately generate. It is supported by NI-FGEN driver software, which facilitates easy integration and control of the waveform generator within test systems.

    Another notable feature is its output enable feature, which is software-selectable, providing users with control over the output state of the device. The maximum output overload is specified as 50 Ω with a voltage range of ±12 V (±8 V for the Direct Path), ensuring robust operation under various load conditions.

    The PXI-5421 can utilize both internal and external clock sources, offering flexibility in synchronization with other devices in a test setup. Furthermore, the device has a weight of 12.1
