Data Sheet


The National Instruments PCI-5406 is a 100 MS/s, 40 MHz arbitrary function generator (AFG) featuring up to 16 bits of resolution and 32 kB of onboard memory for arbitrary function generation in a PCI board. Using these devices, you can combine the power of a stand-alone function generator with the flexibility and benefits of your computer to create highly capable virtual instrumentation solutions. Direct digital synthesis (DDS) is used to precisely generate waveforms that are repetitive in nature, including sine, square, triangle, ramp, noise, and DC waveforms.
