The National Instruments 785114-01 PXIe-5413 is a high-performance PXI Waveform Generator designed for versatile signal generation in advanced industrial applications. This module comprises referenced single-ended output channels equipped with a 16-bit DAC, enabling it to generate sine waveforms with frequencies from 0 MHz to 20 MHz in 2.84 µHz increments. It also supports square waveforms up to 10 MHz and ramp/triangle waveforms ranging from 0 MHz to 1 MHz, maintaining the same frequency step as the sine waveforms. Additionally, for user-defined functions and arbitrary waveforms, the generator accommodates sizes from 2 samples to 64 million samples. The device relies on an internal reference clock operating at 100 MHz, with a sample clock rate of 800 MHz, ensuring precise timing for signal outputs. The module features 10 PFI terminals, where PFI 0 and PFI 1 utilize SMA-type connectors, while AUX 0 and PFI<0..7> use the MHDMR connector. It operates with a +3.3 V logic level, supporting a maximum input voltage of +5 V, and a frequency range in PFI I/O of 0 MHz to 25 MHz. The 785114-01 draws 2.3 A from the +3.3 V rail and 1.8 A from the +12 V supply, with a total power consumption of 29 W. Calibration can be performed through self-calibration software or external calibration, with essential constants saved in nonvolatile memory. The module is intended for use within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and relative humidity of 10% to 90%, while storage conditions are more accommodating, with a range of -40 °C to 71 °C and humidity from 5% to 95%. Designed exclusively for indoor applications, it may need to be housed in a sealed enclosure for outdoor deployment. The maximum operational altitude for the 785114-01 is 2000 meters.
