Sample Size and Resolution


The NI 5442 stores arbitrary waveforms in memory as signed 16-bit digital words. On the NI 5442, the entire 16 bits are sent to the digital gain circuit, the digital filter and the DAC.

The NI 5442 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.
