National Instruments PCI-6542 Digital Waveform Device

The PCI‑6542 (Part Numbers: 778989-02 and 778989-03) is a Digital Waveform Device manufactured by National Instruments. This versatile device is available with two onboard memory size choices, depending on the part number. 16 Mbit of onboard memory is available with part number 778989-02, whereas 64 Mbit is available with part number 778989-03. Using Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) technology, the PCI-6542 allows instructions and waveforms to share onboard memory. Flexible and user-defined parameters include the maximum number of waveforms in memory, the number of script instructions, the number of samples (S) available for waveform storage, and the number of waveforms.

The NI Script Editor is incorporated on the NI-HSDIO DVD and is introduced when the user introduces the driver. The NI Script Editor gives a natural interface to enable users to create connecting and circling waveform age tasks. The NI CB-2162 also gives a stage to circuit prototyping and DUT testing. 

An additional accessory that can be utilized with the PCI-6542 is the NI SMB-2163 breakout box. This box offers coaxial SMB connectors for each channel on the DDC connector, offering a simple method to interface with different gadgets for testing and troubleshooting. This link offers availability like that found on a normal logic analyzer, so it can be utilized in logic analyzer-type applications. This link takes into consideration concurrent example generation and obtaining with the goal that users can utilize it in jolt/reaction applications too. 

Physically, the PCI-6542 measures 12.6 cm × 35.5 cm and weighs a total of 14.5 oz (410 g). The operating temperature range of the Digital Waveform Device is 0 °C to 45 °C, while the storage temperature ranges from -20 °C to 70 °C.  Do not operate or store the module in temperatures past these maximums. If the device needs to be cleaned, try removing any residue with compacted air- be cautious and avoid using any solvents or fluids. For any empty chassis slots, it is recommended to install EMC filler panels.
