Gated
Waveform will run while the Gate signal is true and stop while false.
Carrier Waveforms:
All standard and arbitrary.
Trigger Repetition Rate:
dc to 50 kHz internal, dc to 1 MHz external.
Gate Signal Source:
Internal from keyboard or trigger generator.
External from TRIG IN or remote interface.
Sweep
Capability provided for both standard and arbitrary waveforms. Arbitrary waveforms are expanded
or condensed to exactly 4096 points and DDS techniques are used to perform the sweep.
Carrier Waveforms:
All standard and arbitrary except pulse, pulse train and sequence.
Sweep Mode:
Linear or logarithmic, up or down, triggered or continuous.
Sweep Range:
From 1mHz to 10 MHz in one range. Phase continuous.
Independent setting of the start and stop frequency.
Sweep Time:
30ms to 999s (3 digit resolution).
Marker:
Variable during sweep.
Sweep Trigger Source:
The sweep may be free run or triggered from the following sources:
Manually from keyboard. Externally from TRIG IN input or remote
interface.
Sweep Hold:
Sweep can be held and restarted by the HOLD key.
Tone
Capability provided for both standard and arbitrary waveforms. Arbitrary waveforms are
expanded or condensed to exactly 4096 points and DDS techniques are used to allow
instantaneous frequency switching.
Carrier Waveforms:
All waveforms except pulse, pulse train and sequence.
Frequency List:
Up to 16 frequencies from 1mHz to 10MHz.
Switching Sources:
External trigger input. A true level will output the tone, a false level
will stop the tone and switch to the next frequency on the list ready
for the next true level.
Min. switch time:
20ms per tone.
Using 2 instruments with their outputs summed together it is possible to generate DTMF test
signals.
External Amplitude Modulation
Carrier frequency:
Entire range for selected waveform.
Carrier waveforms:
All standard and arbitrary waveforms
Modulation source:
VCA/SUM IN socket.
Frequency Range:
DC - 100 kHz.
Signal Range:
Approximately 2·5V pk-pk for 100% level change at maximum
output.
