Arbitrary waveform generator 5201

functionsingle-channelPXI card

Model 5201 is a Single-Channel Arbitrary Waveform / Function Generator that combines many powerful functions in one small package. Supplied free with the instrument is ArbConnection software, which is used for controlling the 5201 and for generating, editing and downloading waveforms from a remote computer. Sine waves to 50MHz, Square to 30MHz 8Vp-p into 50Ω standard, double into high impedance SINE OUT to 125MHz, 1Vp-p 14 Bit vertical resolution 2M waveform memory 1 ppm clock accuracy and stability Features A Cost Effective Format The 5201 is a sensible alternative to a GPIB-based waveform generator when developing a PXI based test system. The 5201 provides a synergistic combination of a function generator, arbitrary waveform synthesizer, programmable sequencer, pulse generator, and modulation generator in one instrument. The 5201 delivers all this at a lower cost than comparable bench-type, or VXI-based instruments. This versatility ensures that the Model 5201 will adapt to future testing needs as well as current ones. Sample Rate New technology requirements are driving communications systems to use increasingly narrow channel width. A sample rate of 125MS/s makes the 5201 an ideal modulation source for troubleshooting new encoding schemes. The 5201 also provides high-speed waveforms to simulate signal distortion, power line cycle dropouts, video signals, component failures and power supply transients. 14 Bit Resolution The 14-bit resolution provides 16,384 output levels. This means that even audio waveforms can be generated with excellent fidelity.
