Pulse Generation
The 33250A can generate simple
pulses up to 50 MHz. With variable
edge time, pulse width and voltage
level, the 33250A is ideally suited to
a wide variety of pulse applications.
Built-in Versatility
AM, FM and FSK capabilities make
it easy to modulate waveforms
with or without a separate source.
Linear or logarithmic sweeps can
be performed with a programmable
frequency marker signal. Program-
mable burst count and gating allow
you to further customize your signal.
Color Graphical Display
The unique design of the 33250A
combines a low-profile instrument
with the benefits of a color graphical
display. Now you can display multi-
ple waveform parameters at the
same time. The graphical interface
also allows you to modify arbitrary
waveforms quickly and easily.
Timebase Stability and Clock Reference
The 33250A TCXO timebase gives
you frequency accuracy of 2 ppm
for your most demanding applica-
tions. The external clock reference
input/output lets you synchronize
to an external 10 MHz clock, to
another 33250A, or to an Agilent
33220A. Phase adjustments can
be made from the front panel or
via a computer interface, allowing
precise phase calibration
and adjustment.
