We do atomic physics experiments with everything run off of hardware time. Low noise electronics are fairly crucial to getting things to work properly.
It would be fantastic to have some very low noise analog output modules with >16-bit resolution. We currently use the cRIO platform and the NI 9263 analog output modules. However, these have poor noise performance. The best module I have seen from NI is the PXI-6733, but it would be great to have something with an output voltage noise density on the order of ~5-10 nV/sqrt{Hz} in the range of ~100 Hz to a few MHz. The Analog Devices AD5791 20-bit DAC seems like a good candidate for this.
Any thoughts?
