Features & benefits

Variable sampling rate range from 100 S/s to 2.5 GS/s, with 14-bit vertical resolution, ensures signal integrity in all aspects

  • Designed for 100% user-conducted upgrades and configurations, all options activated through SW key
    • Optional and upgradable arbitrary waveform memory up to 64 Mpts for each analog channel and 32 Mbit for each digital channel for long waveforms
    • Optional 16-32 channel digital outputs. Purchasing SW option includes the shipment of digital probe accessory.
  • Two operation modes – Basic (DDS AFG mode) and advanced (arbitrary AWG mode), which provide excellent balance between usability and flexibility
  • Dual analog channels and up to 32-bit digital channels, ideal for mixed signal circuit designs
  • Sync-in and Sync-out interfaces enables the synchronization of multiple units in a daisy chain, to extend the number of output channels
  • Digital outputs provide up to 1.25 Gb/s data rate creates high speed digital pattern in parallel
  • One marker output for each analog channel for triggering and synchronization
  • Three software-configurable output paths fit all test cases
    • Direct DAC mode: 750 MHz bandwidth with differential output
