NI PXI-5422

Description

The National Instruments PXI-5422 is a 200 MS/s arbitrary waveform

generator featuring 16-bit resolution and up to 512 MB of onboard

memory in a compact, 1 slot 3U PXI module. Because the NI PXI-5422

uses the PCI-based PXI platform, waveforms can be downloaded at up to

84 MB/s, far faster than traditional GPIB-based instruments. Using the

Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture of the PXI-5422,

you can create mixed signal test systems by synchronizing the generator

with digitizers and digital waveform generator/analyzers or synchronize

multiple arbitrary waveform generators to form a phase-coherent

multichannel generator.

Exceptional Time and Frequency-Domain Performance

• 1.8 ns rise time, 6% pulse aberration

• -60 dBc (0.1%) total harmonic distortion (THD) at 10 MHz

• -139 dBm/Hz average noise density

• -81 dBc intermodulation distortion (IMD) with intermediate

frequency (IF) optimized direct path

10 kHz offset)

Triggering and Sequencing

• Four triggering modes – single, continuous, stepped, and burst

• Up to 2 million waveform segments

• Up to 3 million sequence instructions (links and loops)

• Segment looping up to 16,777,216 times or infinitely

Timing and Synchronization

• Multi-instrument synchronization

• 3 sample clock sources – Divide-by-N,

High-Resolution, and External.

• 1.06 µHz sample rate resolution

with high-resolution clock

• Phase lock to external reference or

the PXI 10 MHz reference clock

Software

• NI Analog Waveform Editor for

creating frequency and time-domain signals

• NI-FGEN instrument driver with LabVIEW Express VIs

for function and arbitrary waveform generation

• FGEN Soft Front Panel for interactive control
