Full function waveform generator supports USB, LAN and GPIB

26 February 2003 Test & Measurement Integrated Solutions

Agilent Technologies' 33220A Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses direct digital synthesis (DDS) techniques that the company says creates a stable, accurate output signal for clean, low distortion sine waves. It also gives square waves with fast rise and fall times up to 20 MHz and linear ramp waves up to 200 kHz.

Front-panel operation of the 33220A is straightforward and user-friendly. All major functions can be accessed with a single key or two keys. The knob or numeric keypad can be used to adjust frequency, amplitude, offset, and other parameters. Voltage values can also be entered directly in Vpp, Vrms, dBm, or as high and low levels. Timing parameters can be entered in Hertz (Hz) or seconds.

Other features: 20 MHz sine/square waveforms; pulse, ramp, triangle, noise, and DC waveforms; 14-bit, 50 MSa/s, 64 K-point arbitrary waveforms; AM, FM, PM, FSK, and PWM modulation types; linear and logarithmic sweeps and burst operation; 10 mVpp to 10 Vpp amplitude range; graph mode for visual verification of signal settings; comms via USB, GPIB and LAN possible.
