equal to the selected output impedance.  
Maximum  
Output  
Overload  
The CH 0 output can be connected to a 50 , 12 V  
( 8 V for the Direct Path) source without sustaining any  
damage. No damage occurs if the CH 0 output is shorted to  
ground indefinitely.  
Waveform  
Summing  
The CH 0 output supports waveform summing among  
similar paths—specifically, the outputs of multiple NI 5422  
signal generators can be connected directly together.

Memory  
Usage  
The NI 5422 uses the Synchronization and Memory Core  
(SMC) technology in which waveforms and instructions  
share onboard memory. Parameters, such as number of  
segments in sequence list, maximum number of waveforms  
in memory, and number of samples available for waveform  
storage, are flexible and user defined.

Arbitrary  
Waveform  
Mode  
In Arbitrary Waveform mode, a single waveform is selected  
from the set of waveforms stored in onboard memory and  
generated.  
Arbitrary  
Sequence  
Mode  
In Arbitrary Sequence mode, a sequence directs the NI 5422  
to generate a set of waveforms in a specific order. Elements  
of the sequence are referred to as segments. Each segment is  
associated with a set of instructions. The instructions  
identify which waveform is selected from the set of  
waveforms in memory, how many loops (iterations) of  
the waveform are generated, and at which sample in the  
waveform a marker output signal is sent.
