Introduction 

This Getting Started Manual provides an overall description of the Model 396 Arbitrary 

Waveform Generator, the Model 397 Waveform Generator, and the applicable Safety 

Information. It also contains descriptions of the various options available for each Model.  
The descriptions throughout this manual apply to both Models 396 and 397 unless 

specifically noted in the description as 396 or 397. Otherwise the descriptions refer to 

both products collectively as the Instrument. 

Description

 

The 396 is a single-channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator, and the 397 is a dual-channel 

Waveform Generator. Both are high performance waveform generators that combine 

many functions and features in one small but powerful package. The ArbExplorer 

software supplied with the Generator is used for controlling the Instrument and 

generating, editing and downloading waveforms from a remote computer. The following 

highlights the Instrument and the ArbExplorer features.
