Description
Timing and Synchronization
The National Instruments PXI-5422 is a 200 MS/s arbitrary waveform • Multi-instrument synchronization
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 • 3 sample clock sources – Divide-by-N,
uses the PCI-based PXI platform, waveforms can be downloaded at up to High-Resolution, and External.
84 MB/s, far faster than traditional GPIB-based instruments. Using the • 1.06 µHz sample rate resolution
Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture of the PXI-5422, with high-resolution clock
you can create mixed signal test systems by synchronizing the generator • Phase lock to external reference or
with <20 psrms of skew
with digitizers and digital waveform generator/analyzers or synchronize
multiple arbitrary waveform generators to form a phase-coherent
multichannel generator.
