200 Msps PXI digitiser and arbitrary waveform generator

6 October 2004 Test & Measurement Access Control & Identity Management Products & Solutions

Two new 200 Msps modular instruments from National Instruments, based on its synchronisation and memory core (SMC), double the available sample rate and memory depth of the company's digitiser and arbitrary waveform generator product families. When combined with its precision DC, RF and high-speed digital PXI instruments, the new modules are ideal for a variety of applications in consumer electronics, semiconductor, military/avionics and scientific research.

The NI PXI-5124 12-bit, dual-channel digitiser and the NI PXI-5422 16-bit arbitrary waveform generator use the latest commercial semiconductors to extend the SMC architecture by increasing sample rates to 200 Msps and memory depth to 512 MB per channel. The modules bring the advantages of NI modular instruments to an even broader set of applications by delivering superior accuracy, flexibility and tight integration of mixed-signal I/O. The PXI-5124 digitiser offers 75 dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) and 150 MHz bandwidth, while the PXI-5422 arbitrary waveform generator delivers less than 6% pulse aberration and a 1,8 ns rise time.

Design and test engineers can use the digitiser and arbitrary waveform generator to quickly build stimulus/response systems anywhere in a product's development flow using the new NI SignalExpress interactive measurement software as well as LabVIEW 7.1 and NI TestStand test management software. With the Express technology available in each of these software packages, engineers can interactively configure the digitiser and arbitrary waveform generator with little programming. More than 400 measurement and analysis functions including spectral measurements and analog and digital modulation are available in LabVIEW 7.1.

Both new modules can import external sample clocks, reference clocks and triggers through front panel connectors or the PXI trigger bus.
