System compatibility

PCI-5421 belongs to NI arbitrary waveform generator platform.It works with standard PCI industrial PC,supported by NI-FGEN driver and LabVIEW,widely used for custom arbitrary waveform simulation,communication signal test,component characterization and stimulus-response test in legacy ATE systems.It is spare part for legacy test equipment overhaul.

Function

PCI-5421 is PCI-based 16-bit arbitrary waveform generator adopting SMC shared memory shturl.cc/4VGor supports standard sine,square,triangle waveforms and user-defined arbitrary waveform sequences,DDS provides high precision frequency control.Software selectable impedance adapts to different test loads.Deep shared onboard memory supports long waveform sequences,RTSI bus enables multi-card synchronous output for multi-channel automated test systems.

Installation

Insert PCI-5421 into computer PCI slot and fasten bracket.Connect signal cables to SMB connectors.Install NI-FGEN instrument driver.Take ESD protection before installation.

Interface

‑SMB waveform output connector

‑SMB reference clock input connector

‑SMB trigger & marker port
