Astronics / EADS / Racal 6062B4 4-Channel Analog Output Module

The Astronics/EADS/Racal 6062B4 is a 4-channel analog output module engineered for precision signal generation in automated testing, industrial control, and waveform synthesis applications. This C-size VXIbus module delivers 16-bit resolution across four independent channels with ±10 V output range and ±50 mA sourcing/sinking capability per channel. It combines deterministic settling performance with flexible triggering architecture, supporting both SCPI messaging and pseudo-register control for microsecond-level response times. ## Technical Specifications Output Performance • 4 channels, 16-bit resolution (14-bit monotonicity) • Output range: ±10 V • Maximum output current: ±50 mA per channel • Accuracy: ±(0.01% FSR + 1 mV) at 23°C ±2°C • Integral non-linearity: ±0.006% FSR • Differential non-linearity: ±0.006% FSR • Temperature coefficient: ±(0.002% FSR + 0.1 mV)/°C • Settling time: 10 µs to 0.1%, 50 µs to 0.01% • Slew rate: >5 V/µs • Small signal bandwidth: >200 kHz • Ripple voltage: 2 mVrms, 5 mVpk-pk • Output modes: 2-wire or 4-wire Waveform Generation • Built-in waveforms: Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Ramp, Square • Sine/Triangle/Sawtooth/Ramp: up to 50 kHz • Square waves: up to 25 kHz • Maximum D/A sample rate: 500 kS/s • Memory per channel: 64 k-points • User-defined waveforms: Two stored in flash ROM via Fourier coefficients • Arbitrary waveforms: loadable from file or test program Control Architecture • Trigger modes: Immediate, Continuous, Burst (1 k to 64 k waveforms) • Independent or synchronous channel triggering in groups of two to four • Independent trigger outputs for inter-channel waveform synthesis • Programming: SCPI messages and pseudo-register control • VXIbus protocol: Word serial • Execution time (Interactive mode): <5 ms per channel ## Typical Applications • Automated test systems requiring multi-channel waveform synthesis • Industrial process control with synchronized analog outputs • Complex signal generation for sensor simulation and validation • Arbitrary waveform playback in real-time test environments ## Compatibility & Integration C-size, single-slot VXIbus module.
