Standard Waveforms The Agilent Technologies 33250A Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses direct digital-synthesis techniques to create a stable, accurate output on all waveforms, down to 1µHz frequency resolution. The benefits are apparent in every signal you produce, from the sine wave frequency accuracy to the fast rise/fall times of square aves, to the ramp linearity. Front-panel operation of the Agilent 33250A is straight forward and user friendly. The knob or numeric keypad can be used to adjust frequency, amplitude and offset. You can even enter voltage values directly in Vpp, Vrms, dBm, or high/low levels. Timing parameters can be entered in hertz (Hz) or seconds.
Custom Waveform Generation Why settle for a basic function generator when you can get arbitrary wave-forms at no extra cost? With the Agilent 33250A, you can generate arbitrary waveforms with 12-bit vertical resolution, 64K memory depth, and a sample rate of 200 MSa/s. You can also store up to four 64K-deep arbitrary wave-forms in non-volatile memory with user-defined names to help you find the ight waveform when you need it most. The included Agilent IntuiLink soft-ware allows you to easily create, edit, and download complex waveforms using the IntuiLink Arbitrary Waveform Editor. Or you can capture a waveform using IntuiLink oscilloscope or DMM and send it to the 33250A for output. For programmers, ActiveX component scan be used to control the instrument using SCPI commands. IntuiLink pro-vides the tools to easily create, down-load, and manage waveforms for your Agilent 33250A
Pulse Generation The Agilent 33250A can generate simple pulses up to 50 MHz. With variable edge time, pulse width and voltage level, the Agilent 33250A is ideally suited to a wide variety of pulse applications.
Built-in Versatility AM, FM and FSK capabilities make it easy to modulate waveforms with or without a separate source. Linear or logarithmic sweeps can be performed with a programmable frequency marker signal. Programmable burst count and gating allow you to further customize your signal. For system applications, both GPIB and RS-232 interfaces are standard, and support full programmability using SCPI commands.
Color Graphical Display The unique design of the 33250A com-bines a low-profile instrument with the benefits of a color graphical display. Now you can display multiple wave-form parameters at the same time. The graphical interface also allows you to modify arbitrary waveforms quickly and easily.
Timebase Stability and Clock Reference The 33250A TCXO timebase gives you frequency accuracy of 2 ppm for your most demanding applications. The external clock reference input/output lets you synchronize to an external10MHz clock, to another 33250A, or to an Agilent 33120A. Phase adjustments can be made from the front panel or via a computer interface, allowing precise phase calibration and adjustment.
