NI 5442 Filtering Effects

NI Signal Generator

NI 5442
Filtering Effects


The delay from the time at which a device receives a trigger to the time at which the analog output signal is generated increases if the digital and/or analog filters in the Analog Output path are enabled. In the case of digital filtering, delay also increases with increases in interpolation. Enabling the onboard signal processing block can also introduce delay.

Note  The digital filter for the signal generator is inside the main DAC shown in the Analog Output path.

Refer to Digital Filter for interpolation options. Refer to the NI 5442 Specifications for the delay from the time at which a device receives a trigger to the time at which the analog output signal is generated based on different filtering options.
