The National Instruments 778692-01 is a high-performance Arbitrary Waveform Generator that serves as a versatile solution for various signal generation applications. This model, identified as the PCI-5421, is equipped with 8 MB of onboard memory, allowing for the storage of up to 8,388,608 bytes of waveform data. Leveraging advanced Synchronization and Memory Core technology, the 778692-01 enables efficient utilization of memory, allowing users the flexibility to modify parameters such as the number of waveforms stored and sample availability. The device features two bidirectional SMB (jack) connections on the front panel, compatible with PFI 0 and PFI 1, supporting a frequency range from DC to 105 MHz. Additionally, an optional front panel for digital data and control includes a 68-pin VHDCI female receptacle connector.
The 778692-01 offers two distinct output modes to meet diverse requirements: arbitrary waveform and arbitrary sequence. In arbitrary waveform mode, users can select a single waveform from those stored in memory, while arbitrary sequence mode allows for the sequential generation of multiple waveforms, each associated with its own specific set of instructions. The memory limits for this device are 4,194,176 samples in arbitrary waveform mode and 4,194,120 samples in arbitrary sequence mode. This comprehensive feature set is supported by a sample rate range from 23.84 S/s to 100 MS/s, making the National Instruments 778692-01 an ideal choice for precise and flexible waveform generation applications, backed by a three-year warranty.
