TTi - TGA12104 - 100MS/s four channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Description:
The TGA1200 series combine a true variable clock arbitrary generator with a high performance DDS function generator and pulse generator in a single instrument.
A true arbitrary generator
The TGA12104 is a highly sophisticated 12-bit arbitrary generator capable of recreating virtually any waveform. True variable clock architecture is used with clock speeds between 0.1Hz and 100MHz .
This architecture avoids the clock jitter associated with DDS arbitrary generators and permits waveform linking, looping and sequencing.
Waveforms may be defined with up to 4096 vertical points and from 8 to 1M horizontal points . Arbitrary waveforms may be replayed at a specified waveform frequency, period or sample rate.
On TGA12104 waveform storage is on removeable Compact Flash memory cards and is therefore effectively unlimited.
Function generator
Each channel can operate as a full DDS function generator. High quality sine, cosine, haversine, havercosine and square waves are available between 1mHz and 40MHz. Triangle, ramp and sine(x)/x waveforms are available from 0.1mHz up to 100kHz.
Pulse generator Each channel can generate not just pulses but complex pulse trains. A pattern of up to 10 pulses can be quickly defined with each pulse having its own amplitude, width and delay. The whole pulse train pattern can then be replayed at a user defined repetition rate. Where variable rise time pulses are required, the full arbitrary function can be used.
