The National Instruments PCI-5421 is a 100 MS/s arbitrary waveform generator featuring 16-bit resolution and up to 256 MB of onboard memory. With this combination of high-resolution and deep memory, you can generate long, precise, aperiodic waveforms. The NI PCI-5421 is ideal for a range of applications in communications, consumer electronics, scientific research, automotive, and military/aerospace. Because the PCI-5421 uses the PCI bus, waveforms can be downloaded up to 280 times faster than with GPIB-based generators. Using the Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) and the RTSI bus, you can create stimulus/response systems with digitizers and high-speed digital I/O or synchronize two or more arbitrary waveform generators to form a phase-coherent multichannel generation system.
The 32 and 256 MB models include the NI Analog Waveform Editor, an interactive tool for creating and editing analog waveforms.
