Description
Timing and Synchronization
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.
• Multi-instrument synchronization
with <20 psrms of skew
• 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
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
• < 1.3 psrms jitter -138 dBc/Hz phase noise (10 MHz carrier,
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
