NI 5402/5406
Overview


The NI 5402 is a 20 MHz, 14-bit function generator. The NI 5406 is a 40 MHz, 16-bit function generator. These devices have the following features:

  • One 14-bit resolution output channel for the NI 5402; 16-bit resolution for the NI 5406
  • Output amplitude up to 10 Vpk-pk into a 50 Ω load
  • Offset up to ±5 Vpk including AC and DC components into 50 Ω impedance
  • Up to 20 MHz sine output for the NI 5402; 40 MHz for the NI 5406
  • Up to 20 MHz square output for the NI 5402; 40 MHz for the NI 5406
  • Up to 1 MHz triangle, ramp-up, and ramp-down for the NI 5402; 5 MHz for the NI 5406
  • Software-selectable output impedances (50 Ω or 75 Ω) and output attenuation levels from 0 dB to 51 dB
  • PLL synchronization to external clocks or to PXI_CLK10 
  • NI-TClk support for multi-module synchronization. Refer to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-TClk for more information.
  • Sampling rate of 100 MS/s
  • 32 MB of onboard frequency list memory
  • Digital and analog filters
  • Digital gain
  • Two external trigger inputs
  • PXI trigger/RTSI lines

All NI 5402/5406 devices follow industry-standard Plug and Play specifications for the PXI bus, and offer seamless integration with compliant systems.
