NI PXI-5422

200 MS/s, 16-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Configure Page for: Print PDF Rich Text
  • 16-bit resolution, 200 MS/s sampling rate
  • 80 MHz analog bandwidth
  • 1.8 ns rise time with <6% pulse aberration
  • Multimodule synchronization with <20 ps skew
  • 8, 32, 256, or 512 MB of shared waveform data and sequence instruction memory
  • Optional 16-bit LVDS digital pattern output


The National Instruments PXI-5422 is a 200 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. Because the NI PXI-5422 uses the PCI-based PXI platform, waveforms can be downloaded at up to 84 MB/s, far faster than traditional GPIB-based instruments. Using the Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) architecture of the PXI-5422, you can create mixed-signal test systems by synchronizing the generator with digitizers and digital waveform generator/analyzers or synchronize multiple arbitrary waveform generators to form a phase-coherent multichannel generator.

Get Started with PXI
Choose from hundreds of specialized instruments to create a PXI System that suits your measurement needs and can scale for future applications. Then, we'll help you choose the right hardware and software to complete your configuration.

Add More Measurements and I/O Modules
Use the PXI Advisor to choose from a variety of modules including analog I/O, digital I/O, switching and more. Then, complete and price the PXI System.

Add Modules

Preview a Complete System
View and price a complete PXI configuration including the NI PXI-5422, chassis, and controller. Starting from the default configuration, you can add modules, accessories, and software and customize your system.

View and Price a Configured System
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.

System Assurance Programs

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
  • Extended warranty and calibration coverage for up to five years
  • Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility

This service is only available for PXI, NI CompactRIO, and NI Compact FieldPoint systems.

Extended Warranties

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

For more information about your warranty options:

Calibration

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.
