NI 5412 Specifications

NI PXI/PCI-5412 14-Bit 100 MS/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Unless otherwise noted, the following conditions were used for each 
specification:

Interpolation set to maximum allowed factor for a given sample rate.

Signals terminated with 50 

.

Low-Gain Amplifier Path set to 2 V

pk-pk

, and High-Gain Amplifier 

Path set to 12 V

pk-pk

.

Sample clock set to 100 MS/s.

Typical values are representative of an average unit operating at room 
temperature. Specifications are subject to change without notice. For the 
most recent NI 5412 specifications, visit 

ni.com/manuals

.

Caution Hot Surface  

Allow the NI 5412 to cool before removing it from the chassis to reduce 

risk of burns. Use caution when handling because recently used NI 5412 devices may 
exceed safe handling temperatures.
