100MS/s Sample Rate
New technology requirements are driving communications systems to use increasingly narrow channel widths. A high sample rate of 100MS/s makes the WW1072 an ideal modulation source for troubleshooting new encoding schemes. The WW1071 also provides high-speed waveforms to simulate signal distortion, video signals, component failures, and power supply line cycle dropouts and transients.
High Performance
The WW1071 delivers precise waveforms with 14 bits of amplitude resolution and up to 14 digits of frequency resolution from remote with extremely low phase noise. Exceptional electrical performance includes up to 10Vp-p into 50Ù over the full frequency range. Selectable filters ensure clean stimulus waveforms enabling the generator to simulate modulation waveforms
14 Bit Resolution
The 14-bit resolution provides 16,384 output levels. This means that even audio waveforms can be generated with excellent fidelity. It also allows video-and other complex waveforms-to be generated with small details superimposed on large signals, in order to test the response of receiving systems.
Function Generator
When used as a simple function generator the instrument offers ten basic waveforms with adjustable parameters all of which are accessible from the front panel. These are sine, triangle, square, pulse, ramp, sinc, Gaussian, exponential (up and down), noise, as well as DC. Sine and square waves can be generated at up to 50MHz.
Up to 4M Waveform Memory
The WW1071 offers 1M word memory standard and 2M or 4M word optional for arbitrary waveforms. In addition, the memory can be divided into as many as 2048 segments, which can be looped and linked in many different ways. Using 4M word at 100MS/s to generate a video signal, for example, the duration is 0.04 seconds, 25Hz, even without any looping of repetitive elements.
Sequence Generator
When the sequencing facilities are employed, the WW1071’s uniqueness is obvious. The memory segments can be linked and repeated in any combination both manually and under programmed control. This allows test software to switch between many different waveforms rapidly without the need to download multiple times, enhancing test throughput in a way that is unmatched by competing products. The sequence generator has four advanced modes: automatic, stepped, single and mixed, which make it even a more powerful tool.
High-Quality Modulation Signal Source
One of the many attractive features of the WW1071 is the sample clock modulation function. In ordinary arbitrary waveform generators, to make a frequency modulated sine wave you have to enter the complete mathematical function. Not so with the WW1071: all that is necessary is generating the carrier signal, and then modulating the clock to obtain the required result. The sample clock modulation can be done using internal waveforms such as sine, square, triangle, and ramp or using downloaded arbitrary modulating waveforms. This allows you to generate signals that would be difficult or impossible to define using an equation. AM, Linear and Logarithmic Sweeps, FSK and Ramped FSK are available as well.
Triggering Facilities
However versatile the waveform generation systems are made, the need for external control of generation is vital. The triggering facilities of the WW1071 match the generation functions in versatility. In the simplest mode, signals are output continuously. The WW1071/2 also offers the triggered mode, gated mode, external burst mode, and internal burst mode, all of which can use an external trigger signal or an internal trigger. The use of external sources to prompt the switching of segments has already been mentioned.
Easy to use
Large and user-friendly 3.8” back-lit color LCD display facilitates browsing through menus, updating parameters and displaying detailed and critical information for your waveform output. Combined with numeric keypad, cursor position control and a dial, the front panel controls simplify the often complex operation of an arbitrary waveform generator.
High Speed Access
Access speed is an increasingly important requirement for test systems. Included with the instrument is a variety of interfaces: LAN, USB and GPIB so one may select the interface most compatible to individual requirements. Using any of the external interfaces, controlling instrument functions and features as well as downloading waveforms and sequences is fast, time saving and easily tailored to every system regardless if it is just a laptop to instrument or full-featured ATE system. IVI drivers and factory support will speed up system integration thus minimizing time-to-market and reduce system development costs significantly.
Multiple Environments to Write Your Code
Model WW1071 comes with a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments such as: Labview, CVI, C++, VB and MATLAB. You may also link the supplied dll to other Windows based API’s or, use low level SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) to program the instrument, regardless if your application is written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh operating systems.
Multi-Instrument Synchronization
Multiple WW1071/2s can be synchronized using a Master-Slave arrangement allowing users to benefit from the same high quality performance in their multi-channels needs.
ArbConnection
ArbConnection is a graphical tool that provides an unlimited source of Arbitrary Waveforms. With the ArbConnection software you can control instruments functions, modes and features. You can also create a virtually infinite amount of test waveforms. Freehand sketch allows you to draw your own custom waveform for quick analysis of analog signals. You can use the built-in equation editor to create your own exotic functions. Add or subtract components of a Fourier series to characterize digital or analog filters or inject random noise into a signal to test immunity to auxiliary noise.
