Description
The National Instruments PXI-6542 and PXI-6541 devices are 100 and
50 MHz digital waveform generator/analyzers, respectively, for
interfacing to digital electronics. These modules feature 32 channels
with per-channel direction control and deep onboard memory with
triggering and pattern sequencing. Through the NI-HSDIO driver, you
can interface with 5.0, 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8 V logic. You can also use these
devices with the NI Digital Waveform Editor, an interactive software
tool for creating and editing digital waveforms. With the SMC, you can
create mixed-signal test systems with digitizers, arbitrary waveform
generators, and other digital waveform generator/analyzers, or you can
synchronize multiple digital devices to build low-skew multichannel
systems for interfacing to high pin count digital ICs and electronics.
Design High-Density Interfaces
• Data delay for clock frequencies ≥ 25 MHz
• Data delay resolution of 0.4%
of clock period
• Internal or external sample or reference
clock sources
• ±600 ps channel-channel skew (typ)
• ±32 mA maximum DC drive strength
per channel (configured for 3.3 V logic)
• Multidevice synchronization with other
SMC-based modular instruments

Create and Edit Patterns Interactively
with the Digital Waveform Editor
• Import existing waveforms into LabVIEW from VHDL simulation and
spreadsheet tools in Value Change Dump (.VCD) or ASCII formats
• Create new waveforms using built-in fill patterns
• Edit waveforms interactively in the user interface
• Link and loop created digital waveforms with the Script Editor
