The Keysight Technologies, Inc.
33210A function/arbitrary waveform
generator is the latest addition to the
332XX family. Waveforms are gener-
ated using direct digital synthesis
(DDS) technology which creates
stable, accurate low distortion sine
waves as well as square waves with
fast rise and fall times up to 10 MHz
and linear ramp waves up to 100 kHz.
For user dened waveforms, Option
002 provides 14-bit, 50 MSa/s 8K
point arbitrary waveform generation.
Pulse generation
The 33210A can generate variable-
edge-time pulses up to 5 MHz. With
variable period, pulse width, and am-
plitude the 33210A is ideally suited to
a wide variety of applications requir-
ing a exible pulse signal.
Custom waveform gen-
eration (Option 002)
The optional 8K point arbitrary
waveform generator (Option 002) can
be used in the 33210A to generate
complex custom waveforms. With 14-
bit resolution, and a sampling rate of
50 MSa/s, the 33210A gives you the
exibility to create the waveforms you
need. It also lets you store up to four
waveforms in nonvolatile memory.
The Keysight IntuiLink arbitrary wave-
form software allows you to easily
create, edit, and download complex
waveforms using the waveform editor.
Or you can capture a waveform us-
ing IntuiLink for Oscilloscopes and
send it to the 33210A for output. To

Easy-to-use function-
ality
Front-panel operation of the 33210A
is straight-forward and user friendly.
You can access all major functions
with a single key or two. The knob or
numeric keypad can be used to adjust
frequency, amplitude, offset, and
other parameters. You can even enter
voltage values directly in Vpp, Vrms,
dBm, or as high and low levels. Timing
parameters can be entered in Hertz
(Hz) or seconds.
Internal AM, FM, and PWM modu-
lation make it easy to modulate
waveforms without the need for a
separate modulation source. Linear
and logarithmic sweeps are also built
in, with sweep rates selectable from
1 ms to 500 s. Burst mode operation
allows for a user-selected number of
cycles per trigger. GPIB, LAN, and
USB interfaces are all standard, plus
you get full programmability using
SCPI commands.
External frequency ref-
erence (Option 001)
The 33210A external frequency refer-
ence lets you synchronize to an exter-
nal 10 MHz clock, to another 33210A,
or to a Keysight 33220A or Keysight
33250A. Phase adjustments can be
made from the front panel or via a
computer interface, allowing precise
phase calibration and adjustment.
