The National Instruments PCI-6542 is a 100 MHz digital waveform generator/analyzer for interfacing to digital electronics. This board features 32 channels with per-channel direction control and deep onboard memory with triggering and pattern sequencing. Through the NI-HSDIO driver, you can configure the board for 5.0, 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V logic. You also can use the NI PCI-6542 with the NI Digital Waveform Editor, an interactive software tool for creating and editing digital waveforms. With SMC, you can create mixed-signal test systems with digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators, and other digital waveform generator/analyzers, or you can synchronize multiple digital devices to build low-skew multichannel systems for interfacing to high-pin-count digital ICs and electronics.
