Standard Waveshapes

Sine, square, triangle, ramp, pulse, arbitrary, linked sequence, and DC.

Arbitrary Waveforms

Memory

Waveform: 1 Mwords x 8-Bits (4 Mwords x 8-Bits with Option 01).

Marker: 1 Mwords x 2-Bits (4 Mwords x 2-Bits with Option 01).

Data Points of Waveform: 32 to 1 M ( 4 M with Option 01) in multiples of 32.

Clock Generator

Frequency Range: 1.000000 kHz to 1.024000 GHz.

Resolution: 7 digits.

Stability: 1 ppm/year (+15 to ± 25 degrees C).

Operating Modes

Continuous: Output waveform/sequence continuous at programmed waveshape, frequency, amplitude, and offset.

Triggered: Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger; generates a waveform/sequence only one time.

Burst: Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger; then generates a waveform/sequence up to 65,536 times.

Gated: Same as continuous mode except period is executed only for the duration of the gated signal until the sequence started is completed.

Waveform Advance: Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger, then generates the waveform/sequence in the Sequence file. When the scan count reaches value, output stops and waits for next trigger.

Auto Step: Continuously outputs the waveform/sequence in the Auto Step file; the next Auto Step

Trigger (rear panel) advances the waveform/sequence.

Slave: Receives clock from a master arbitrary waveform generator for parallel operation.
