System compatibility

PCI-5401 belongs to NI waveform generator platform.It works with standard PCI industrial PC,supported by NI-FGEN driver and LabVIEW,widely used for signal stimulus,component characterization and automated test bench signal simulation in legacy ATE systems.It is spare part for legacy test equipment overhaul.

Function

PCI-5401 is PCI-based arbitrary function generator with DDS technology.It can generate sine,square,triangle,ramp,DC and noise waveforms.Selectable output impedance and programmable attenuation adapt to different test loads.PLL and RTSI bus enable multi-card synchronous signal generation for multi-channel stimulus-response measurement systems.

Installation

Insert PCI-5401 into computer PCI slot and fasten bracket.Connect signal cable to SMB and 50-pin VHDSCSI connectors.Install NI-FGEN instrument driver.Take ESD protection before installation.

Interface

‑SMB analog waveform & clock connectors

‑50-pin VHDSCSI digital pattern I/O connector

‑PCI gold finger edge connector

‑Board status indicator

Feature

PCI-5401 classic NI PCI arbitrary function generator board.Typical faults:SMB connector oxidation,output amplifier damage,DDS clock circuit failure.Inspect waveform output and amplitude calibration before replacement.

Diagnostic

Fault phenomenon:no waveform output,amplitude abnormal,frequency error,sync failure.Check SMB cable,termination resistor,PCI slot contact,NI-FGEN driver and impedance/attenuator setting.

Product Brief

PCI-5401 is NI PCI bus 1-channel 12-bit arbitrary waveform generator board with 40MS/s update rate and max 16MHz sine output,supporting DDS and RTSI synchronization,for signal stimulus testing and legacy automated test equipment renovation.Mainly used for maintenance and replacement of old test equipment.ESD protection must be followed during handling.
