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 40 MHz arbitrary function generator (AFG) that features up to 16 bits of resolution with a maximum sample rate of 400 MS/s. In addition, the device is equipped with 32 kB of installed memory for discretionary capacity generation in a conservative, 1-space 3U PXI module or PCI board. By utilizing the PXI-5406, 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.

The PXI-5406 has gone past the Mature Status of the Product Lifeycle from National Instruments, but the Waveform Generator will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves in perpetuity.
