TTi - TGA1242 - 40MS/s Two 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 TGA1242 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 40MHz. 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 4 to 64K horizontal points . Arbitrary waveforms may be replayed at a specified waveform frequency, period or sample rate.
On TGA1242 unit, up to 100 user-defined waveforms can be stored within the instrument’s non-volatile memory.
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 16MHz. 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.
