250MS/s Performance
Higher performance test equipment and systems are needed as products which use increasing signal bandwidths are developed. The sample rate generator can be programmed from frequencies as low as 1.5Hz to 250MHz with superior waveform quality and purity. For example, phase noise is typically below 120dB/Hz at 10kHz offset for a 10MHz sine wave.
High Speed Function Generator
Interested in standard functions? There are 10 built-in functions that cover most routine requirements. These are sine, triangle, square, pulse, ramp, sinx/x, Gaussian, exponential, noise, as well as DC. Sine and square waves can be generated from frequencies as low as 100µHz to frequencies as high as 100MHz. All functions and their respective parameters are accessible via the front panel.
Waveform Memory
Longer waveform memory minimizes test duration by allowing multiple waveforms to be loaded simultaneously and retrieved as needed for the specific test. Each channel comes with 1M points of memory as standard. Optional 2M or 4M memory is available for applications requiring longer memory.
Digital Outputs
16-bits are available as digital patterns from a rear-panel VHDC connector. Output level is LVDS which is efficient and sufficient for high speed digital data transmissions. Digital patterns are built the same way as arbitrary waveforms; thus the immense power of the waveform generator with all its functions and features is harnessed behind this output turning the WW2571A into the most powerful pattern generator in its class.
Frequency Agility
Decrypting radio transmission often employs frequency hopping. The WW2571A provides breakthrough technology that allows simulation of 12-bit decrypted code as easy as writing a simple hop table. The frequency hop mode is fast, coherent and provides a great tool for simulating code transmission without losing speed and integrity.
Memory Segmentation and Sequencing
Solving almost every complex application, powerful segmentation and sequencing produce an endless variety of complex waveforms. The waveform memory can be divided into multiple waveform segments and sequenced in user-selectable fashion to create complex waveforms that have repeatable segments and thus saving precious memory space. Five different advance modes are available for the WW2571A series to step through the sequence table, including stepped and mixed advance modes and thus increasing efficiency of the test system. To solve even the toughest application, the products allow generation of up to 10 different sequences, each capable of linking 10k waveform fragments and looping each waveform up to 1M times.
Accurate Output
As standard, the instrument is equipped with an internal frequency reference that has 1ppm accuracy and stability over a period of 1 year. An external frequency reference is provided on the rear panel for applications requiring greater accuracy or stability, supported by the instrument’s up to 14 digits resolution from remote.
Modulation Capability
Agility and modulation capabilities open the door to diverse applications. In addition to the capability of generating any shape and style of waveform with the arbitrary waveform generation power, the products can also do standard modulation schemes such as FM, AM, FSK, ASK, (n)PSK, (n)QAM, amplitude and frequency hops, 3D and sweep without sacrificing the power of the instrument control and output run modes.
Automated External Self-Calibration
Normal calibration cycles in the industry range from one to three years where instruments are sent to a service center, opened to allow access to trimmers, calibrated and certified for repeated usage. Leading-edge technology was implemented to allow calibration from any interface, USB, GPIB or LAN. Calibration factors are stored in a flash memory thus eliminating the need to open instrument covers.
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 WW2571/2A comes with a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments such as: Labview, CVI, C++, VB, 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 WW2571/2As can be synchronized using a Master-Slave arrangement allowing users to benefit from the same high quality performance in their multi-channels needs.
ArbConnection
The ArbConnection software provides you with full control of instrument functions, modes and features. ArbConnection is a powerful editorial tool that allows you to easily design any type of waveform. Whether it is the built in wave, pulse or serial data composers, or the built in equation editor with which you can create your own exotic functions, with ArbConnection virtually any application is possible.
