Sweep Waveforms
The Model 3152A’s Sweep Mode is a special case of
Sequenced Mode which utilizes the sequencer and the 3152A’s
512k of waveform memory to store a sequence of sine, square
or triangle waveforms. The sweep is user-programmable to have
up to 2000 steps and as few as 10. Sweep steps are individual
waveforms stored in segments. Sweep advance spacing is
specified as either linear or logarithmic and either up or down in
frequency. Sweep may be either continuous or triggered.
Output State
The main output can be turned on or off. The internal circuit is
disconnected from the output BNC connector by a mechanical
switch under program control (relay). This feature is useful for
connecting the Model 3152A main output, along with other
instruments, to an analog bus. For safety reasons, after power
on, the main output is always off.
Backplane
Synchronization
Multiple Model 3152As may be synchronized and operated
together inside one VXIbus chassis. With one instrument
configured as master and the rest of the instruments configured
as slaves, the instruments are phase-locked to the start phase
on the master module. The slave modules may be configured to
have phase offsets within the range of 0 to 360 . There is no
need to install multiple Model 3152A modules in adjacent slots to
be able to phase synchronize modules.
Front-Panel PLL
The Model 3152A may be phase locked to an external reference
and phase shifted from the start phase of the external reference
from -180 to +180 . The reference signal is applied to a front-
panel input BNC. In this way, the same reference can be
applied to multiple modules to generate multi-phase signal
patterns. The reference signal for the PLL function is applied to
the TRIG IN. It shares the same characteristics as the trigger
input, programmable trigger level and programmable slope.
