Wide range of applications

These top-value generators, built on years of experience, combine high precision with easy operation, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications like automotive, mechanical, calibration, telecom, audio, componenttesting, medical, education and training. Applications that require higher frequencies are perfectly suited for the PM5139, while the PM5138A is extremely usefull when higher output voltages are required. This higher output, 40 Vpp, available for the complete bandwidth up to 20 MHz and also for the 24 arbitrary waveforms, makes this instrument ideal for tranducer simulation up to 14 Vrms for the automotive industry.

Simple, menu-controlled operation

To change a setting, all that's needed is to make a selection from the 5-line menu and operate the corresponding buttons. Specific functions can be accessed directly via control buttons which are conveniently located in a separate field. For example: store or recall of instrument-settings. Numeric values are set precisely by a large rotary control (which can be disabled to secure the setting). At all times, you get a clear indication of the instrument setting by the large backlit LCD display.

Accurate setting of modulation parameters

Modulation parameters such as modulation depth, deviation, number of cycles and start/stop

phase can be set with high accuracy. The modulation/trigger source is programmable with a wide frequency range of 1 mHz to 100 kHz, and an accuracy of

0.1%. The sweep parameters f

start,fstop

, time, lin/log and sweep mode are independently programmable.

Versatile modulation mode selection

Modulation modes such as AM, FM and sweep are selected from the modulation mode menu. All waveforms can be modulated, even the userdefined arbitrary waveforms. The burst mode can be triggered via the internal modulation/trigger source or via the external modulation input. Bursts may also be manually triggered by a front panel key. The single-shot mode in burst can be used with all waveforms, including arbitrary.

Arbitrary waveform function via GPIB/IEEE-488 / RS232 link

Both the PM 5138A and PM 5139 with GPIB/IEEE-488 or RS232 installed, provide the arbitrary waveform capability, a powerful aid to the generation of custom test signals.

Application example:

In mechanical vibration analysis, such as shock testing, a DSO can capture the output of an accelerometer and transfer the vibration waveform either to a PC for modification or directly to the PM 5138A or PM 5139 to reproduce it when needed, without having to repeat the actual experiment. The waveform can then be sent continuously, as a burst for a defined number of cycles, or when triggered by an external source.
