Product-specific answers based on available technical information.
No. NI identifies the PCI-5431 as a video waveform generator and the PCI-5411 as a high-speed arbitrary waveform generator.
Yes. The archived NI 5431 driver reference documents functions to calculate and save composite video data, calculate and download video data, and configure the generation sequence.
No. The NI-FGEN 17.1 hardware table marks the PXI/PCI-5431 unsupported under both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Driver installation alone does not establish device support.
