The NI PXIe-6545 digital waveform generator/analyzer features 32 bidirectional channels clocked at a maximum of 200 MHz. The selectable voltage levels of 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, and 3.3 V work with the most common logic levels and are ideal for conducting tests on semiconductor devices, such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), ASICs, and microcontrollers. For example, with a 16-bit, parallel interface, 200 MS/s dual-channel DAC, you can use the NI PXIe-6545 to generate data on 32 lines (continuously or in bursts) to test the DAC at its maximum clock rate. You can also pair this device with other NI modular instruments, including digitizers or source measure units (SMUs), to characterize the DAC for various tests at higher rates.
Streaming rates of 660 MB/s to host PC memory and 400 MB/s from host PC memory make the NI PXIe-6545 ideal for applications requiring high streaming rates. You can use this module to stream high-definition digital video signals for generation or acquisition and to test LCD screens, television components, high-definition signals (up to 1080 p at 60 Hz), RF baseband devices, and HD radio.
The NI PXIe-6545 also features enhanced timing and synchronization capabilities. The onboard DDS clock provides subhertz resolution up to 200 MHz, helping you clock data (generation or acquisition) with higher precision without using an external clock. In addition, you can now test applications requiring arbitrary clock frequencies and export the onboard clock to other instruments through the backplane of a PXI Express chassis or through an SMB connector on the front panel of the device. Additionally, you can clock your data by importing an external clock through the front panel or backplane. With these features, you can synchronize the NI PXIe-6545 with other analog or digital instruments.

NI PXIe-6545 Packages
To use the NI PXIe-6545 , you need all items in the diagram below. Select Option 1 if you already own a PXI System, or Option 2 if you do not already own a chassis, controller, or software.
Roll over the icons below to learn why you need each item in the system
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.
Preview a Complete System View and price a complete PXI configuration including the NI PXIe-6545, chassis, and controller. Starting from the default configuration, you can add modules, accessories, and software and customize your system.
Since your device does not have direct signal connectivity, you need a connector block to act as an interface between your sensors/signals and your device. A connector block provides easy access to the inputs and outputs of your hardware.
You need a cable to transmit signals between your device and your signal connections on your connector block.
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.
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
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.
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 restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
