Multichannel mixed-signal PXI instruments lower the cost and size of ATE
The new PXIe-5413, PXIe-5423, and PXIe-5433 arbitrary waveform generators deliver -92 dB of spurious-free dynamic range and 435 fs integrated system jitter while providing precise waveform adjustment when used with a dedicated standard waveform generation engine. With a new fractional resampling architecture for arbitrary waveform generation, similar dynamic range and jitter performance is available independent of user sample rate. Users also benefit from the high-speed waveform streaming capabilities and multiple-instrument synchronization synonymous with PXI.
With up to two independently controlled output channels and a maximum ±12 V and minimum ±7.75 mV output ranges, there are also options for 20, 40 and 80 MHz in a single PXI slot.
The new PXIe-5172 oscilloscope includes a user-programmable FPGA. Engineers can use LabVIEW to customize the oscilloscope’s firmware, such as adding in-line signal processing or advanced triggering. It provides 100 MHz, 250 MS/s and 8 channels with an input voltage range of up to 80 V peak-to-peak with ±20 V DC offset and support for external sample and reference clocks
“Test engineers need the best technology available at the right price and channel counts to meet their cost, complexity and time-to-market requirements,” said Luke Schreier, director of automated test product marketing at NI. “The new family of arbitrary waveform generators provide software continuity with our NI-FGEN drivers for simple technology insertion, and the new oscilloscope includes a user-programmable FPGA to customize functionality for different applications. We believe the software-centric and standardized hardware approach in PXI for automated test, both in the laboratory and production environments, offers the flexibility to balance continuous innovation with proven measurement technologies.”
