Description
The PXI-6561 is a high-performance, 16-Channel digital waveform generator and analyzer that operates at a maximum sampling rate of 100 MHz. This device uses LVDS signaling to ensure robust communication and data integrity. Depending on the specific needs, users can select from three part numbers: 778993-01, 778993-02, and 778993-03, which differ in the amount of onboard memory per channel, offering 2 Mb, 16 Mb, and 128 Mb respectively.
The PXI-6561 boasts a maximum clock frequency range from 48 Hz to 100 MHz, catering to a wide range of applications. Users can benefit from versatile generation modes, including Single-Waveform Mode and Scripted Mode, allowing for flexible signal generation and testing scenarios. Furthermore, the module is equipped with a comprehensive set of triggers, such as Start Trigger, Pause Trigger, Script Trigger, Advance Trigger, and Reference Trigger, facilitating complex test sequences and synchronization with other instruments.
Software compatibility is broad, encompassing LabVIEW 7.0 (or later), Microsoft Visual C/C++ 6.0 or later, and LabWindows™/CVI™ 6.0 or later, ensuring that developers can integrate the PXI-6561 into existing test rigs or develop new applications with ease. The device’s physical dimensions are 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in., and it weighs 12 oz., making it a compact and lightweight option for integrating into PXI systems.
Although this model is now obsolete, it remains available for purchase through Apex Waves, offering a viable solution for users needing to replace or expand their current test systems without redesigning their entire setup
