The North Atlantic / Transmagnetics 5410C-55-1 is a VXIbus-compatible C-size module that delivers twelve independent, 16-bit digital-to-analog conversion channels. Each single-ended D/A channel provides bipolar outputs with programmable voltage generation, enabling precise signal control in automated test and measurement systems. The module combines high resolution with stable long-term accuracy, supporting conversion rates exceeding 1000 voltage changes per second and flexible triggering via internal or external sources.
