What Are NI PXI Waveform Generators?
NI PXI waveform generators deliver precise standard and user-defined arbitrary waveforms using sequences of data or continuous streaming, providing high signal fidelity and versatile functionality for a range of electronics testing purposes.
Configure and Generate Quickly
NI InstrumentStudio™ software simplifies NI PXI Waveform Generator setup with its intuitive Soft Front Panel, offering a seamless, user-friendly experience. Users can configure signals, apply built-in digital filtering, and explore other tools to refine and optimize their signals with ease.
Achieve Precise Synchronization
NI PXI Waveform Generators synchronize with other instruments for cohesive multi-instrument setups. Using NI-TClk and signal-based synchronization, they achieve sub-nanosecond timing for precise, repeatable signals, ensuring seamless integration and coordination across advanced test systems.
Leverage Sequencing and Scripting
NI PXI Waveform Generators use sequencing and scripting for reliable, flexible waveform creation. Sequencing efficiently manages complex signal patterns in onboard memory, while scripting enables dynamic, conditional responses—all supported by advanced trigger synchronization.
Stream Long and Adaptive Signals
Waveform streaming in NI PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators enables high-speed data transfer at hundreds of megasamples per second. It extends signal generation beyond onboard memory limits, ensuring precise signals, seamless integration, and exceptional performance in dynamic tests.
Optimize Multichannel Testing
NI PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators feature independent generation engines for unique outputs per channel. Arbitrary waveform generators enhance flexibility for multichannel tests and parallel tasks with one engine per channel—each with triggers, markers, and scripts—ensuring speed and precision in complex setups.
