FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Which waveforms can the PXI-5406 generate?

NI lists sine, square, triangle, ramp, pseudorandom noise, and DC signals.

Does every waveform reach 40 MHz?

No. Maximum frequencies are 40 MHz for sine, 25 MHz for square, and 5 MHz for triangle and ramp.

Which driver supports the PXI-5406?

NI-FGEN supports the module. NI-FGEN 2.4 documentation explicitly lists PXI-5406 support and frequency-list operation; verify requirements for the particular release you plan to use.
