Output impedance |
Software-selectable: 50 Ω or 75 Ω |
Output coupling |
DC |
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 |
The CH 0 output supports waveform summing among similar paths—specifically, the output terminals of multiple PCI-5412 waveform generators can be connected directly together |

Memory usage |
The PCI-5412 uses the Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) technology in which waveforms and instructions share onboard memory. Parameters, such as number of segments in sequence list, maximum number of waveforms in memory, and number of samples available for waveform storage, are flexible and user-defined. |

Self-calibration |
An onboard, 24-bit ADC and precision voltage reference are used to calibrate the DC gain and offset. The self-calibration is initiated by the user through the software and takes approximately 75 seconds to complete. |
External calibration[28] |
External calibration calibrates the VCXO, voltage reference, DC gain, and offset. Appropriate constants are stored in nonvolatile memory. |
