The PCI-6551 (Part Numbers: 778950-01, 778950-02, 778950-03) is a high-performance Digital Waveform Generator or Analyzer from NI. It comes with a wide range of built-in operational capabilities and smart features. The NI PCI-6551 Digital Waveform Generator offers a frequency bandwidth range of 50 MHz and twenty data channels. It also allows the user to control data across all channels, with the per cycle, per channel bidirectional feature. There are four channels for a programmable function interface. It also allows the user to complete a real-time hardware comparison for the response data acquired for the detailed analysis.

The NI PCI-6551 Digital Waveform Generator enables users to fulfill various industrial requirements, such as characterizing, validating, and testing the advanced digital electronic systems. It incorporates a sophisticated timing engine, which enables the user to adjust the timing parameters for various testing requirements for devices under test. This model also comes with the NI Digital Waveform Editor, which is an interactive editing software tool. This software enables the user to create, edit, and import digital waveforms. The NI Digital Waveform Editor enhances the operational flexibilities of the PCI-6551 Digital Waveform Generator.

The National Instruments PCI-6551 Digital Waveform Generator comes with various logic levels, which includes 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V, LVTTL, programmable, and TTL. It also incorporates the T-clock capability. The instrument offers a triggering mechanism to the users, along with built-in support for external clocking and a versatile memory architecture.

PCI-6551 Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the digital waveform generator will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
