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

Analog Filter enabled.

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

Signals terminated with 50 

.

Direct Path set to 1 V

pk-pk

, 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 5421 specifications, visit
