National Instruments PXI-5406 PXI Waveform Generator

The PXI-5406 (Part Number: 779657-01) Waveform Generator comes with unparalleled analog output execution. The analog output includes a 7-pole curved analog filter to suppress high-frequency signal pictures. Depending on the user’s signal and application needs, they can choose up to a 4X advanced addition for a viable testing rate up to 400 MS/s. Also, the analog output has a passband flatness of ±0.4 dB over the bandwidth for sine generation.

This PXI Waveform Generator utilizes DDS, which is a method for deriving, under computerized control, an analog frequency source from a single reference clock frequency. This system is utilized to accomplish high-frequency exactness and resolution, temperature security, and quick, phase nonstop frequency exchanging. All frequency sweeping and hopping is phase continuous. The user can create a burst of a few tones. frequency sweeping and hopping is actualized through a frequency list of steps, each of which characterizes frequency and duration. Complex frequency lists can be instructed with 32 MS/s of accessible instruction memory.

The NI PXI-5406 is a 100 MS/s, 40 MHz arbitrary function generator (AFG) that features up to 16 bits of resolution and 32 kB of installed memory for discretionary capacity generation in a conservative, 1-space 3U PXI module or PCI board. Utilizing this gadget, the user can consolidate the energy of a single function generator with the adaptability and advantages of a PC to make competent virtual instrumentation arrangements.

PXI-5406 Mature Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the Waveform Generator will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
