Arbitrary waveform generator 5200

single-channelCompactPCI/PXI card

Model 5200 is a Single-Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator that combines many powerful functions in one small package. Supplied free with the instrument is ArbConnection software, which is used for controlling the 5200 and for generating, editing and downloading waveforms from a remote computer. Sine waves to 25MHz, Square to 15MHz 8Vp-p into 50Ω standard, double into high impedance SINE OUT to 50MHz, 1Vp-p 14 Bit vertical resolution 1M waveform memory 1 ppm clock accuracy and stability Features A Cost Effective Format The 5200 is a sensible alternative to a GPIB-based waveform generator when developing a PXI or PCI based test system. The 5200 provides a synergistic combination of a function generator, arbitrary waveform synthesizer, programmable sequencer, pulse generator, and modulation generator in one instrument. The 5200 delivers all this at a lower cost than comparable bench-type, or VXI-based instruments. This versatility ensures that the Model 5200 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 50MS/s makes the 5200 an ideal modulation source for troubleshooting new encoding schemes. The 5200 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.
