NI 5412 Specifications 16 ni.comWaveform and Instruction Memory UtilizationTable 9.Specification Value CommentsMemory Usage The NI 5412 uses the Synchronization and Memory Core(SMC) technology in which waveforms and instructionsshare onboard memory. Parameters, such as number ofsegments in sequence list, maximum number of waveformsin memory, and number of samples available for waveformstorage, are flexible and user defined.—OnboardMemory Size8 MB standard:8,388,608 bytes32 MB option:33,554,432 bytes256 MB option:268,435,456 bytes—Output Modes Arbitrary Waveform mode and Arbitrary Sequence mode —ArbitraryWaveformModeIn Arbitrary Waveform mode, a single waveform is selectedfrom the set of waveforms stored in onboard memory andgenerated.—ArbitrarySequenceModeIn Arbitrary Sequence mode, a sequence directs the NI 5412to generate a set of waveforms in a specific order. Elementsof the sequence are referred to as segments. Each segment isassociated with a set of instructions. The instructionsidentify which waveform is selected from the set ofwaveforms in memory, how many loops (iterations) of thewaveform are generated, and at which sample in thewaveform a marker output signal is sent.—MinimumWaveform Size(Samples)Trigger ModeArbitraryWaveform ModeArbitrarySequence ModeThe MinimumWaveform Sizeis sample ratedependent inArbitrarySequence Mode.Single 16 16Continuous 16 96 @ >50 MS/s32 @ ≤50 MS/sStepped 32 96 @ >50 MS/s32 @ ≤50 MS/sBurst 16 512 @ >50 MS/s256 @ ≤50 MS/s
