Sample Size and Resolution


The NI 5412/5421/5422/5441 stores arbitrary waveforms in memory as signed 16-bit digital words. On the NI 5421/5422/5441, the entire 16 bits are sent to the digital gain circuit, the digital filter and the DAC. On the NI 5412, the upper 14 bits are sent to the digital gain circuit, the digital filter, and the DAC.

The NI 5441 stores arbitrary complex waveforms in memory as interleaved real/imaginary 16-bit digital words. Each real/imaginary pair is processed by the OSP block before it is sent to the digital gain circuit, the digital filter, and the DAC.
