N9310A RF Signal Generator
Low-cost manufacturing
This implies performing just sufficient performance checks to get the product finished and launched into the production as quickly as possible.
If you`re wondering how to reduce manufacturing test overheads without compromising quality, your answer is here.
You`lleven find an N9310A RF signal generator fits your budget for those mini R&D projects or when your need initiate a low-cost project for product enhancements and extensions.
Agilent`s new low-cost, compact signal generator, the N9310A, finds application in low-cost R&D projects as well as high-volume electronics manufacturing.
Needing to build today`s consumer electronics devices better , faster?
An increasing number of today`s consumer electronics devices incorporate sophisticated RF technologies. You`ll be trying hard to ensure the quality of their product design and production while simultaneously reducing costs and time to market.
Dual language options enhance usability anywhere
As manufacturing moves around the world, so will your engineers and technicians. Therefore, meeting the challenge of operating in a multi­lingual environment is essential.
Now, that`s easy with the N9310A RF signal generator.
It already provides built-in dual­language (English and Chinese) on­screen instructions, parameters and softkeys shortly, other languages will follow.
So, regardless of where you deploy your engineering and hardware resources, everyone will find operating an N9310A signal generator straightforward.
When you want to make effortless automated tests, or use the generator remotely, simply use the built-in USB interfaces. Just connect your PC to the signal generator, run the virtual panel software and you have all the controls replicated on your PC.
Low-cost ATE
for true, low-cost
volume manufacturing
There`s often a need to integrate a number of signal generators into automated test systems. You`ll find this surprisingly affordable with N9310A RF signal generators. It is easy and inexpensive to add a number of these signal generators to your existing ATE systems.
Alternatively, you may simply want to operate your signal generator remotely. Your generator comes with PC-based virtual panel software utilities and drivers. USB ports on back panels make interconnection easy.
PC control is then through the virtual panel display. This replicates all controls and setup parameters on the large, full-color display on the generator`s front panel. Furthermore, this also provides useful productivity tools for you such as data logging and graphics.
Optional rack mount kit enables simple stacking with other test equipment in standard test racks. The rackmounted signal generator is full width and a compact, standard 3U height.
Multi-language display and instruction help ensure easy operation of your signal generator, no matter who`s using it.
Agilent`s new low-cost, compactsignal generator provides a money-saving solution in high-volume manufacturing applications.
Now you know the signal generator to choose when you are ramping up your volume manufacturing. Moreover, you can be confident that the price and performance will please your management team, too.
