National Instruments PXI-6562 PXI Digital Waveform Instrument

The National Instruments PXI-6562 (Part numbers: 778994-01, 778994-02, and 778994-03) is a 200 Mb/s Digital Waveform Instrument for interfacing to LVDS electronics. This module highlights 100 clock rates individually. Single and double-data-rate modes are included and offer 16 channels with per-channel direction control (in single-data rate mode) and a deep onboard memory with triggering and pattern sequencing. It has an onboard memory of 2, 16, or 128 Mb/channel, and an onboard clock frequency range of 48 Hz to 200 MHz. They can be used with the National Instruments Digital Waveform Editor, an interactive programming apparatus for making and altering computerized waveforms. With the SMC, the user can make mixed-signal test frameworks with digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators, and other digital waveform generator/analyzers. Additionally, the user can synchronize numerous computerized gadgets to build low-skew multichannel frameworks for interfacing to high-pin-count digital ICs and electronics.

The new modules are built on the common Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture, so they firmly synchronize with other SMC-based measured instruments, such as the recently released 200 MS/s PXI digitizer and arbitrary waveform generator. Engineers additionally can utilize the SMC synchronization innovation to assemble high-channel-count frameworks by utilizing numerous LVDS modules. To rapidly make test applications with the NI PXI-6562, specialists can use two capable programming instruments: Express VIs in the NI LabVIEW 7.1 graphical improvement environment and the NI Digital Waveform Editor for making and altering test vectors.

The PXI-6562 allows the user to make and edit patterns interactively with the Digital Waveform Editor, import existing waveforms into National Instruments LabVIEW from VHDL reproduction and spreadsheet apparatuses in Value Change Dump (VCD) or ASCII groups, create new waveforms utilizing built-in fill designs, and edit waveforms intelligently in the UI. The device is equipped with 3 SMB jack and a 12X InfiniBand I/O connector.

The NI device weighs 12 oz, and measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, and a storage temperature range of -20 °C to 70 °C.

PXI-6562 Obsolete Status has been declared by National Instruments, but will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
