Description
The NI PXI-5402 is a versatile Waveform Generator with part numbers 779655-01 and 192887E-01L, capable of delivering a wide range of waveforms, such as sine, square, triangle, ramp, psuedorandom noise, and DC signals, within a frequency range of up to 20 MHz.
It features an output range from -5 V to +5 V and boasts a high 14-bit resolution with a maximum update rate of 100 MS/s across its 1 Analog Output channel. The PXI-5402 utilizes NI-TClk synchronization technology for precise timing and is factory calibrated using NIST-traceable standards, with onboard calibration references that ensure accuracy despite environmental variations.
With a recommended calibration period of at least once every 2 years, the device maintains reliability and precision over time. It operates using NI-FGEN driver software (version 2.4 or later) and is compatible with various development environments including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Microsoft C. Additionally, it supports simulation mode through the FGEN Soft Front Panel and NI-FGEN instrument driver, facilitating development without the need for physical hardware.
