The National Instruments PXI-5421 is a 100 MS/s arbitrary waveform generator featuring 16-bit resolution and up to 512 MB of onboard memory in a compact, 1 slot 3U PXI module. With this combination of high-resolution and deep memory, you can generate long, precise, aperiodic waveforms. The NI PXI-5421 is ideal for a range of applications in communications, consumer electronics, scientific research, automotive, and military/aerospace. Because the PXI-5421 uses the PCI-based PXI platform, waveforms can be downloaded up to 280 times faster than with GPIB-based generators. Using PXI timing and synchronization and the Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC), you can create stimulus/response systems with digitizers and high-speed digital I/O or synchronize multiple arbitrary waveform generators to form a phase-coherent multichannel generation system.
Reduce your setup time and total cost of ownership, and get a system you can use out of the box with National Instruments system assurance programs. System assurance programs include:
Installation and integration test of all individual hardware
Courtesy installation of system driver sets and application development environments
Three-year warranty and calibration coverage
Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility
This service is only available for PXI, NI CompactRIO, and NI Compact FieldPoint systems.
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
