Functional characteristics
Waveform generation: Based on Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technology, standard waveforms such as sine waves, transistor-transistor logic (TTL) waveforms, square waves, and triangular waves can be generated.
Synchronization function: Supports phase-locked loop (PLL) synchronization with external clocks, and also features real-time system integration (RTI) and PXI triggering functions, facilitating synchronization with other devices.
Operation mode: It features step-by-step, continuous and single-step operation modes, which can meet different application requirements.

Software support: Using the NI-FGen driver software, operations can be carried out through Matlab and the instrument control toolbox. It can also be used in NI software platforms such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, as well as general development environments such as C++, C#,.NET, etc. It is convenient for users to perform operations such as waveform generation, control and data analysis.
Application fields: It is commonly used in electronic testing, automated testing systems, signal processing teaching experiments and other fields, and can be used as a signal source to provide precise excitation signals for various tests and experiments.
