Atec Agilent-33120A User Manual

Uncompromising performance for standard waveforms
The Agilent Technologies 33120A function/arbitrary waveform genera­tor uses direct digital-synthesis tech­niques to create a stable, accurate output signal for clean, low-distortion sine waves. It also gives you fast rise­and fall-time square wave, and linear ramp waveforms down to 100 µHz.
Custom waveform generation
Use the 33120A to generate complex custom waveforms such as a heart­beat or the output of a mechanical transducer. With 12-bit resolution, and a sampling rate of 40 MSa/s, the 33120A gives you the flexibility to create any waveform you need. It also lets you store up to four 16,000­deep waveforms in nonvolatile memory.
Easy-to-use functionality
Front-panel operation of the 33120A is straightforward and intuitive. You can access any of ten major func­tions with a single key press or two, then use a simple knob to adjust fre­quency, amplitude and offset. To save time, you can enter voltage val­ues directly in Vp-p, Vrms or dBm. Internal AM, FM, FSK and burst mod­ulation make it easy to modulate waveforms without the need for a
separate modulation source. Linear and log sweeps are also built in, with sweep rates selectable from 1 ms to 500 s. GPIB and RS-232 interfaces are both standard, plus you get full pro­grammability using SCPI commands.
Optional phase-lock capability
The Option 001 phase lock/TCXO timebase gives you the ability to gen­erate synchronized phase-offset sig­nals. An external clock input/output lets you synchronize with up to three other 33120As or with an external 10-MHz clock.
Option 001 also gives you a TCXO timebase for increased frequency sta­bility. With accuracy of 4 ppm/yr, the TCXO timebase make a 33120A ideal for frequency calibrations and other demanding applications.
With Option 001, new commands let you perform phase changes on the fly, via the front panel or from a computer, allowing precise phase calibration and adjustment.
Link the Agilent 33120A to your PC
To further increase your productivity, use the 33120A in conjunction with Agilent 34811A BenchLink Arb soft­ware. The Windows®-based program lets you create and edit waveforms on your PC and download them to your 33120A with the click of a mouse. Create complex waveforms in a math or statistics program—or use the freehand drawing tool—then pass them into the instrument. Used in conjunction with an Agilent BenchLink Scope, the software also lets you capture a waveform with your Agilent oscilloscope or DMM and send it to your 33120A for output.
3-year warranty
With your 33120A, you get operating and service manuals, a quick refer­ence guide, test date, and a full 3-year warranty, all for one low price.
