The NI PXIe-5413 is a 16-bit PXI waveform generator delivering independent signal generation on 1 or 2 channels with 20 MHz bandwidth and 200 MS/s sampling rate. It generates arbitrary waveforms, standard functions, sequences, and frequency lists with up to 64,000,000 samples per waveform. The device integrates NI-TClk synchronization for tightly coordinated multi-module systems and includes 8 bidirectional PFI lines for trigger and timing control.
