Description
The Part Number 779087-01 refers to a high-performance PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator categorized under PXI-5422. This device is specifically designed to cater to a wide range of applications requiring precise waveform generation. The PXI Waveform Generator boasts an impressive 80 MHz maximum bandwidth and a maximum update rate of 200 MS/s, ensuring high-speed performance and flexibility in generating various waveform shapes.
The model comes equipped with a single channel that supports a 16-bit resolution and an 8 MB memory, which can be expanded to 32 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB depending on the specific requirements of the application. This scalability in memory variants allows for a more tailored approach to waveform generation, accommodating a wide range of complexity and duration in the generated waveforms.
For seamless integration and control, the PXI Waveform Generator is compatible with NI-FGEN driver software. This software facilitates easy programming and manipulation of the waveform generator, making it accessible for users to customize waveforms according to their precise needs. The device also features multiple I/O connectors, including CH 0, CLK IN, PFI 0, PFI 1, and DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL, providing extensive connectivity options for synchronized operations and external device communications.
An essential feature of the PXI-5422 is its support for an External PLL Reference Clock, which allows for precise timing and synchronization with other instruments in a test system. Additionally, the device accepts external triggers, enabling users to initiate waveform generation based on specific events or conditions, further enhancing its versatility and application scope.
The mature status of this waveform generator has been officially announced by National Instruments. However, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Furthermore, customers can benefit from calibration services that are available either with NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party or basic in-house calibration, ensuring the device maintains its accuracy and reliability over time.
