LW120 User Manual 

gating signal goes low, is the last point on the waveform. 

Burst Mode 

The burst mode is an extension of the triggered mode where the 
generator can be programmed to output a pre-determined number of 
waveforms. The source to trigger the burst can be selected from a 
front panel connector, GPIB trigger or from the built-in trigger 
generator. 

 

Frequency Agility

 

Using the latest DDS (direct digital synthesis) technology, the LW120 
is extremely agile. Operations like sweep, FSK and FM are directly 
derived from the DDS circuit by controlling its input bits. Frequency 
agility is described below. 

 

Sweep

 

The LW120 can sweep from minimum to maximum sample clock 
frequency setting. You may select to sweep up or down using linear 
or logarithmic steps. Sweep time is programmable from 1 ms to 1000 
seconds with 7 digits. The sweep start and stop frequency program 
the rear-panel sine output connector. You may also use the sweep 
from the front panel as long as you do your own calculation of start 
and stop frequencies, depending on the present sample clock 
frequency and waveform length. You may use the sweep in 
continuous mode, triggered, or gated. The LW120 will also sweep up, 
or down, using linear or logarithmic increments. 

 

FSK

 

FSK (frequency shift keying) function controls the sine output 
connector. The trigger input is used to flag the LW120 when to output 
carrier frequency (trigger false) or when it should switch to the shift 
frequency (trigger true). You may also use the FSK function from the 
front panel as long as you do your own calculation of carrier and 
shifted frequencies, depending on the present sample clock frequency 
and waveform length. 

 

Ramped FSK

 

Ramped FSK is the same as the FSK function except the output is 
ramped instead of switched to the shift frequency. Ramp time is 
programmable with 3 digits from 100 

µ

s to 1 seconds. 

 

FM

 

The FM function modulates the LW120 sample clock frequency. You 
can frequency modulate the output either with built-in waveforms, or 
download complex waveforms to the modulation memory. Using the 
latest DDS technology, the modulation is wide band and extremely 
linear. FM can be used in continuous, triggered and gated modes. 
The LW120 can generate two types of frequency modulation: 1) 
Standard and 2) Arbitrary. In standard mode, the modulating 
waveform is selected from a built-in library of 4 standard waveforms: 
sine, triangle, square and ramped wave shapes. In arbitrary mode, 
the modulating signal is downloaded to the modulation waveform 
memory. There are 20,000 points allocated specifically for the
