Operating Modes |
Continuous | | Waveform runs continuously | |
Triggered Burst | | Each active edge of the trigger signal will produce one burst of the waveform | |

Max. Carrier Frequency | | 40 Msamples/s for ARB and Sequence. 1 MHz or the maximum for the selected waveform. | |
Number of cycles | |
Trigger repetition | | 0.005 Hz to 100 kHz internal dc to 1 MHz external | |
Trigger signal source | | Internal from keyboard, previous channel, next channel or trigger generator. External from TRIG IN or remote interface. | |
Trigger start/stop phase | | ± 360 ° settable with 0.1 ° resolution, subject to waveform frequency and type | |
Gated | Waveform will run while the Gate signal is true and stop while false | | |
Carrier waveforms | | All standard and arbitrary | |
Max. carrier frequency | | 40 Msamples/s for ARB and Sequence. 1 MHz or the maximum for the selected waveform. | |
Number of cycles | |
Trigger repetition | | 0.005 Hz to 100 kHz internal dc to 1 MHz external | |
Gate signal source | | Internal from keyboard, previous channel, next channel or trigger generator. External from TRIG IN or remote interface. | |
Gate start/stop phase | | ± 360 ° settable with 0.1 ° resolution, subject to waveform frequency and type | |
Sweep | Frequency sweep capability is 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, triggered or continuous | |
Sweep direction | | Up, down, up/down or down/up | |
Sweep range | | From 1 mHz to 16 MHz in one range. Phase continuous. Independent setting of the start and stop frequency. | |
Sweep time | |
Marker | |
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 | |
Multi channel sweep | | Any number of channels may be swept simultaneously but the sweep parameters will be the same for all channels. Amplitude, Offset and Waveform can be set independently for each channel. | |
Tone Switching | 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 except pulse, pulse train and sequence | |
Frequency list | | Up to 16 frequencies from 1 mHz to 10 MHz | |
Trigger repetition rate | | 0.005 Hz to 100 kHz internal. DC to 1 MHz external. Usable repetition rate and waveform frequency depend on the tone switching mode. | |
Source | | Internal from keyboard, previous channel, next channel or trigger generator. External from TRIG IN or remote interface. | |
Tone switching modes | |
Gated | | The tone is output while the trigger signal is true and stopped, at the end of the current waveform cycle, while the trigger signal is false. The next tone is output when the trigger signal is true again. | |
Triggered | | The tone is output when the trigger signal goes true and the next tone is output, at the end of the current waveform cycle, when the trigger signal goes true again. | |
FSK | | The tone is output when the trigger signal goes true and the next tone is output, immediay, when the trigger signal goes true again. Using 2 channels with their outputs summed together it is possible to generate DTMF test signals. | |
Trigger Generator | Internal source 0.005 Hz to 100 kHz square wave adjustable in 10 us steps. 3-digit resolution. Available for external use from any SYNCOUT socket. | | |
