The National Instruments PXI-5412 is an advanced PXI Waveform Generator, designed for versatile and high-performance testing applications. This device operates with a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz and an impressive update rate of up to 100 MS/s, making it suitable for a wide range of testing scenarios. The PXI-5412 is available in three models differentiated by onboard memory capacity: 8 MB (part number 779176-01), 32 MB (part number 779176-02), and 256 MB (part number 779176-03). The front panel is equipped with four SMB jack connectors that serve multiple functions such as analog output, sample clock input, and marker output/trigger input. Additionally, it features two LED indicators for real-time monitoring of the device's status, including PCI bus access and onboard generation hardware status.

Utilizing a combination of digital interpolation and analog filtering technologies, the PXI-5412 ensures excellent passband flatness and improved image rejection, resulting in low-distortion output signals. The capability to disable sharp waveforms offers quick rise and fall times with minimal pulse deviations, ensuring precise signal generation. The PXI-5412 is supported by the NI-FGEN driver software compatible with prominent application development environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. A recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is advised for optimal performance, and external calibration should be performed at least once every two years.

The device operates within a temperature range of 0 ºC to 55 ºC and has a storage temperature range of -25 ºC to 85 ºC. Measuring 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm (8.5 in. × 0.8 in. × 5.1 in.) and weighing 340 g (11 oz), the PXI-5412 is a compact solution designed for easy integration into PXI systems. While the product has reached its last-time buy date of December 28, 2023, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. The PXI-5412 comes with a three-year warranty, and user manuals for both operation and maintenance are accessible for download. For pricing details, please contact a sales representative.
