Overview
The National Instruments 6562 and 6561 are 400 and 200 Mb/s digital
waveform generator/analyzers, respectively, for interfacing to LVDS
digital electronics. These modules feature 200 and 100 MHz clock rates,
respectively; single and double-data-rate modes; 16 channels with per-
channel direction control (in single-data-rate mode); and deep onboard
memory with triggering and pattern sequencing. You can use the
modules with the National Instruments Digital Waveform Editor, an
interactive software tool for creating and editing digital waveforms. With
the SMC, you can create mixed-signal test systems with digitizers,
arbitrary waveform generators, and other digital waveform
generator/analyzers, or you can synchronize multiple digital devices to
build low-skew multichannel systems for interfacing to high-pin-
count digital ICs and electronics.
Create and Edit Patterns Interactively
with the Digital Waveform Editor
• Import existing waveforms into National Instruments LabVIEW
from VHDL simulation and spreadsheet tools in Value Change Dump
(.VCD) or ASCII formats
• Create new waveforms using built-in fill patterns
• Edit waveforms interactively in the user interface
