Description
The National Instruments PCI-5406 is a high-performance waveform generator device with a part number of 779658-01, offering a substantial bandwidth of 40 MHz and a high resolution of 16-Bit. It provides a wide voltage range from -5 V to +5 V and a fast sample rate of 100 MS/s, which can be further enhanced with up to 4X digital interpolation for more precise waveform generation.
Equipped with 20 and 40 MHz arbitrary function generators (AFGs), this device ensures versatile signal creation with a resolution of up to 16 bits, supported by 32kB of onboard memory for complex waveform storage. The integration of an elliptical, 7-pole analog filter mitigates unwanted high-frequency signal artifacts, while the Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technique allows for accurate waveform reproduction.
The PCI-5406 can produce a variety of standard functions including sine, square, triangle, ramp, DC signals, and pseudorandom noise, addressing a wide range of application needs. Calibration to NIST traceable standards ensures precision, and built-in environmental corrections for timing errors, offset, and DC gain maintain signal integrity under varying conditions.
