Datasheet
Features in detail
High Resolution LCD
The 3.6” diagonal panel uses 256 x 112 pixels and
provides a large amount of simultaneous information.
System connection information is shown on the top line. Below that is a
general status screen showing five major parameters. These parameters
change depending upon the function being used.
Below the status information is the main editing line which shows the
parameter currently under control.
Representative Waveform Display
The area the to right of the status section shows a representation of the
current waveform.
This is more than just a fixed display for each waveform, it is calculated
from the waveform parameters and gives a live indication when values
such as symmetry, rise time or pulse width are changed.
Even user defined arbitrary waveforms are shown (subject to the
limitations of the display resolution).
Modulation waveforms and representations of the modulated carrier are
shown simultaneously. Burst count waveforms are also shown graphically.
Soft Key Control
Six soft keys below the display provide access and control of the
parameters for each function.
All numeric parameters can be set directly from the numeric keypad, or
can be changed using the spin wheel.
Period entry can be chosen instead of frequency, and amplitude and offset
can be changed to Hi and Lo levels.
Frequencies can be entered in any units from uHz to MHz, periods from ns
to seconds, and amplitudes in mV or V, rms or pk-pk, or in dBm
The currently selected waveform and major functions are also indicated
by illumination of the respective keys.
Mechanical Drawings
Bench-top Operation
The generators are highly compact and use a minimum
of bench space.
Protective mouldings guard against knock damage and a multi-position
stand angles the instrument conveniently as well as providing a carry
handle.
Rack Mounting
For system applications the generators can be rack mounted.
With the protective mouldings and handle removed the size is half rack
width by 2U high.
A 2U rack mounting kit is available suitable for one or two instruments.
Display, Control, Bench/Rack Mounting
Rear panel mounts the digital interfaces and the rear I/O connectors.
(Note: GPIB interface is an option)
