Data Sheet  |   Configure System popup

The National Instruments PXI-6561 is a 200 Mb/s digital waveform generator/analyzer for interfacing to LVDS digital electronics. This module features a 100 MHz clock rate, single- and double-data-rate modes, 16 channels with per-channel direction control (in single-data-rate mode), and deep onboard memory with triggering and pattern sequencing. You also can use this device with the NI Digital Waveform Editor, an interactive software tool for creating and editing digital waveforms. With the 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.
