4-IN-1 Instrument
The AWG-4000 Series instruments are multifunctional signal generators that combine four functions in one instrument, including Function Generator, Arbitrary Waveform Generator, Digital Pattern Generator and Serial Data Pattern Generator.
These four-different functionalities expand the HW flexibility adopting two different technologies: Improved DDS in AFG mode and variable clock, true-arbitrary technology in AWG mode.
The AFG mode allows the user to change glitch free on-the-fly all the parameters preserving the waveform shape and to create/generate the waveform in a glace.
The AWG mode lets the user create complex wavefevorm of analog and digital patterns, insert them in a sequence, apply loops, jumps and conditional branches.
The Serial Data Pattern mode is designed to generate a stream of binary information. With up to 8 channels of data stream, built-in PRBS sequences, modulation features, transition shaping, and the flexibility of a powerful analog front-end, the SPG is the perfect tool for the most challenging applications.
