Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The 5421 family provides standard and user-defined waveform generation. NI documents both a computer-based PCI-5421 device and a PXI-5421 module, so the abbreviated NI-5421 designation alone does not establish the required host hardware.

Memory capacity and digital output options depend on the configuration. Confirm the full model and manufacturer part number on the hardware before selecting system components or applying variant-specific specifications.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is this NI-5421 a PCI device or a PXI module?

The supplied catalog record does not establish the bus format. NI documents both PCI-5421 and PXI-5421 versions; check the full designation and manufacturer part number on the hardware.

What update rate and resolution does the 5421 family provide?

NI specifies a 100 MS/s update rate and 16-bit resolution for both the PCI-5421 and PXI-5421.

Does the NI-5421 model name establish memory capacity or LVDS output?

No. NI documents multiple memory configurations and configuration-dependent LVDS digital output. Neither the installed memory nor the digital output option is established for this catalog item.
