About Your DAQArb 5411

Thank you for buying a National Instruments DAQArb 5411 device.
The DAQArb 5411 family consists of two different devices for your
choice of bus: the PCI-5411 for the PCI bus and the AT-5411 for the
ISA bus. Your 5411 device has the following features:
• One 12-bit resolution analog output channel
• Up to 16 MHz sine and TTL waveform output
• Software selectable output impedances of 50 Ω and 75 Ω
• Output attenuation levels from 0 to 73 dB
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) synchronization to external clocks
• Sampling rate of 610 S/s to 40 MS/s
• 2,000,000-sample onboard waveform memory
• Waveform linking and looping for arbitrary waveform generation
• Digital and analog filters
• 32-bit direct digital synthesis (DDS) for standard function
generation
• External trigger input
• Marker output as trigger output
• 16-bit digital pattern generation with clock
• Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) triggers
All 5411 devices follow industry-standard Plug and Play specifications
on both buses and offer seamless integration with compliant systems. If
your application requires more than one channel of arbitrary waveform
generation, you can synchronize multiple devices on all platforms using
