The National Instruments PXI-5441 is a 100 MS/s arbitrarywaveform generator with onboard signal processing (OSP). OSPfunctions include FIR and CIC interpolation filters, digital per-filtergain and offset control, a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO),and IQ mixing for quadrature digital upconversion. With 16-bitresolution and -91 dBc close-in spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR),the NI PXI-5441 brings instrument quality specifications to applicationsrequiring digital upconversion and baseband interpolation such asprototyping, validating, and testing communications, radar, andelectronic warfare systems. Because the PXI-5441 is a full-featuredarbitrary waveform generator, it is also capable of generating general-purpose electrical test signals and has a maximum output range of12 Vpp into a 50 Ω load.

  • Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility
  • 2-year warranty and calibration coverage

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

Extended Warranties

National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, but we know 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.

  • 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 bring the hardware back to manufacturing specifications

Calibration

NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. We provide manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many of our measurement products.

Training

NI training is the fastest, most certain route to productivity with NI tools and successful application development.

Repair Services

  • You can 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 bring the hardware back to manufacturing specifications.
