NI PXI/PCI-5401
Power-Up and Reset Conditions


When you power up the computer, the NI PXI/PCI-5401 is in the following state:

  • The output is disabled and set to 0 V.
  • The trigger mode is Continuous.
  • The trigger source is automatic (the software provides the triggers).
  • The digital filter is enabled.
  • Output attenuation remains unchanged from its previous setting.
  • The analog filter remains unchanged from its previous setting.
  • Output impedance remains unchanged from its previous setting.

When you reset the device using NI-FGEN or another API, the NI 5401 is in the same state as shown at power-up with the following differences:

  • Output attenuation is set to 0 dB.
  • The analog filter is enabled.
  • Output impedance is set to 50 Ω
  • The PLL Reference source is set to internal tuning.
  • The SYNC duty cycle is set to 50%.
