National Instruments PXI-5412 PXI Waveform Generator
The National Instruments PXI-5412 (part numbers: 779176-01, 779176-02, 779176-03) is an Arbitrary Waveform Generator that utilizes computerized interpolation to enhance the output signal nature of smooth waveforms. This device features a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz in addition to an update rate of up to 100 MS per second, making it a perfect choice for test applications of all sizes. The NI PXI-5412 is available in multiple variations- each boasting a different onboard memory size. Part number 779176-01 is equipped with 8 MB of memory, while part number 779176-02 features 32 MB and part number 779176-03 is equipped with 256 MB.
Designed for versatile connectivity, the front panel of the NI PXI-5412 Waveform Generator features four SMB jack connectors. These connectors facilitate multiple functions, including analog output (CH 0), sample clock input (CLK IN), and marker output / trigger input (PFI 0, PFI 1). This front panel of the waveform generator is also equipped with two LED indicators which provide insight into the status of the device at just a glance. The ACCESS LED displays the status of both the PCI bus and the interface between the PXI-5412 and the controller. The ACTIVE LED displays the status of the device’s onboard generation hardware.
By using a mix of digital interpolation and analog filtering, the NI PXI-5412 Waveform Generator is capable of excellent passband flatness and improved image dismissal- guaranteeing a low-distortion output signal. Sharp waveforms can be disabled with the device, resulting in quick rise/fall times and low pulse deviation (overshoot, undershoot, etc.).
The NI PXI-5412 utilizes the NI-FGEN driver software, which is compatible with software packages/application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. It has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes, and it should be externally calibrated at least once every 2 years.
The physical specifications of the PXI-5412 Waveform Generator include an operating temperature range of 0 ºC to 55 ºC as well as a storage temperature range of -25 ºC to 85 ºC. The one-slot device measures dimensions of 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm (8.5 in. × 0.8 in. × 5.1 in.), and weighs in at 340 g (11 oz).
The PXI-5412 has been declared Obsolete from National Instruments / Emerson. However, the PXI Waveform Generator will remain available in perpetuity for purchase and repairs with Apex Waves.
