Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.
Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.
Specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted:
Typical specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted:
Number of channels |
1 |
Connector type |
BNC |
Output impedance |
Software-selectable: 50 Ω or 75 Ω |
Output enable |
Software-selectable: When the output path is disabled, the CH 0 output is terminated to ground with a 1 W resistor with a value equal to the selected output impedance |
Maximum output overload |
The CH 0 output can be connected to a 50 Ω, ±12 V source without sustaining any damage. No damage occurs if the CH 0 output is shorted to ground indefinitely. |
Waveform summing |
Outputs of multiple PXI-5402 signal generators can be connected together |
Phase adjustment |
-180° to +180° |
Digital interpolation filter[5] |

Self-calibration |
An onboard, 24-bit ADC and precision voltage reference are used to calibrate the gain and offset. Square waveform duty cycle is also calibrated. The self-calibration is initiated by the user through the software and takes approximately 105 seconds to complete. |
External calibration[30] |
External calibration calibrates the VCXO, voltage reference, self-calibration ADC, flatness, gain, and offset. Appropriate constants are stored in nonvolatile memory. |
Calibration interval |
Specifications valid within two years of external calibration |
