Description
|
Just enough signal quality is not enough.
When signal fidelity matters - test with confidence.
New 3-in-1 Instrument -
Accurate Pulse, Function Arbitrary and Noise Generation in a Single Box
Development departments are more and more faced with shrinking design schedules while increasing quality goals. A new class of instruments is needed to achieve highest test efficiency.
Whatever signal is needed you just generate an ideal or worst-case signal to get accurate and accelerated insight into your device.
- High precision pulse generator is enhanced with a versatile signal generator, offering distortion capabilities to stress your device to its limit
- Function arbitrary generator provides versatile waveforms and modulation capabilities to adapt the signal to devices requirements
- Noise generator combines two required extremes: random noise and repeatable noise with very long repetition rates for simple problem identification

Modes Of Operation
There are four components to the mode of operation:
|
|
Coupling between channel 1 and 2
The two channel version has two distinct modes of operation:
Coupling off:
The two channels operate independently. Frequency generation for both channels is based on the same clock reference, but can be selected independently.
Coupling on:
The frequency, trigger mode, waveform type and advanced mode are identical for both channels. The fix delay of channel 1 and channel 2 is the same.
|
|
Trigger Modes
Continuous:
Continuous waveform, burst, sweep or modulation. The External In is not used in continuous mode.
Externally triggered:
Each active transition at the External In (rising, falling or both) generates a single waveform, burst or sweep.
Externally gated:
The active level (high or low) at the External In enables waveforms, bursts or sweeps. The last waveform, burst or sweep is always completed.
Internally triggered:
The internal clock replaces the external trigger source. This can be applied for waveform, burst, or sweep.
Manual:
This generates a single trigger. The source is either a button on the front panel or a remote command.

Advanced Modes
Three advanced modes exist:
Modulation:
Selects the modulation type: AM, FM, PM, FSK, PWM
Sweep:
For frequency sweeps.
Bursts:
Repeats selected waveform n times.
