Overview

NI 5406 and NI 5402 devices are 100 MS/s, 40 and 20 MHz arbitrary

function generators (AFGs) that feature up to 16 bits of resolution and

32 kB of onboard memory for arbitrary function generation in a compact,

1-slot 3U PXI module or 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.

Analog Output Performance

These devices feature unparalleled analog output performance in PXI

and PCI. The analog output path features a 7-pole elliptical analog filter

to suppress high-frequency signal images. Depending on your signal and

application needs, you can select up to a 4X digital interpolation for an

effective sampling rate up to 400 MS/s. Additionally, the analog output has

a passband flatness of ±0.4 dB across the bandwidth for sine generation.

Frequency Hops and Sweeps

The function generator uses DDS, which is a technique for deriving, under

digital control, an analog frequency source from a single reference clock

frequency. This technique is used to achieve high-frequency accuracy and

resolution; temperature stability; and rapid, phase-continuous frequency

switching. All frequency sweeping and hopping is phase-continuous,

and you can generate a burst of several tones. Frequency sweeping and

hopping is implemented through a frequency list of steps, each of which

defines frequency and duration. Complex frequency lists can be

instructed with 32 MS/s of available instruction memory.

Timing and Synchronization

Using NI-TClk synchronization technology, you can synchronize multiple

NI signal generators for applications requiring a greater number of

channels. Because it is built into the Synchronization and Memory Core

(SMC), NI-TClk can synchronize NI signal generators with SMC-based

high-speed digitizers and digital waveform generator/analyzers for

tight correlation of analog and digital stimulus and response. Using

onboard calibration measurements and compensation, NI-TClk can
