Product Description
The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is a waveform generator that can
generate simple and arbitrary waveforms and generates one-channel differential
output arbitrary waveforms and function generator waveforms.
The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator allows you to create sine, triangle,
square, ramp, and complex waves, as well as direct current and noises signals. It
allows you to set waveform attributes, such as frequency, amplitude, and offset.
This instrument contains a hard disk drive, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and
Ethernet interface for storing and recalling waveform data and instrument
settings.
You can remotely control the instrument by sending commands through both the
GPIB and 10BASE–T interfaces, as well as transfer waveform data directly from
a digital storage oscilloscope to the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator
instrument using the GPIB interface. This enables you to use the instrument in
combination with other measurement equipment and a computer.
The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator contains the following main
features:
H 2.6 GHz clock frequency
H 8-bit DA converter
H 8.1 M-word waveform memory
H Two arbitrary marker outputs
