ARB Simulates Many Waveforms

Capable of simulating many types of waveforms, the model 9302 arbitrary waveform generator (ARB) can store an arbitrary waveform of up to 16,000 points in memory. The instrument provides bandwidth from 0.01 µHz up to 31 MHz and generates sine, square, triangle, ramp and noise waveforms. Sampling rates are up to 40 Msamples/s with a 12-bit resolution and all waveforms except noise can be swept over their entire frequency range with phase-continuous, linear, log-up, log-down, or up-down sweep. Sine wave accuracy is ±2 dB. Other features include an RS-232 interface and an optional GPIB interface with waveform composer software. Price is $2,999 and a single-channel version is available, priced at $2,100. PROTEK, Allendale, NJ. (201) 760-9898.
