Direct digital waveform
The U2761A adopts the latest direct
digital synthesis (DDS) technology that
digitally creates arbitrary waveforms
and frequencies from a single and
fi xed frequency source. DDS offers
the precision of digitally controlled
logic—reducing the complexity of
the generator while increasing the
stability. Thus, allowing you to have
a stable, accurate output signal for
clean, low distortion sine waves and
square waves with fast rise and fall
time up to 20 MHz and linear ramp
waves up to 200 kHz.
Arbitrary waveform editor
With every purchase of the U2761A,
it is bundled with an easy-to-use
application software, the Agilent
Measurement Manager. This
application allows customization of
waveforms generation.
Pulse generation
The U2761A can generate pulses
from 500 μHz to 5 MHz. With variable
period, pulse width, and amplitude
parameters, the U2761A is ideally
suited to a wide variety of applications
requiring fl exible pulse width signals.
Internal modulation
Internal AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK,
and PSK modulation makes it easy
to modulate waveforms without
the need for a separate modulation
source. Linear and logarithmic sweeps
are also built in, with sweep rates
selectable from 1 ms to 500 s.

Quick and easy to begin with
The USB 2.0 interface provides easy
connectivity and setup that allows
automatic detection of the U2761A.
With quick and easy USB connectivity,
the U2761A is ideal for academic and
testing environment. The USBTMC
488.2 standard makes the U2761A
compatible with any system that
comes with USB ports.
Flexible standalone or modular
capability
The U2761A is uniquely designed
with fl exibility to function standalone
or as a modular unit. The standalone
PC-based unit allows you to have low
start-up cost.
ADE compatibility
The U2761A is compatible with a
wide range of ADEs. This minimizes
development time because developers
can program directly using the SCPI
commands.
Listed below are the popular
development environments and tools
that the U2761A is compatible with:
• Agilent VEE and Agilent T&M Toolkit
• Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET,
C/C++ and Visual Basic 6
• LabView®
• MATLAB®
Easy-to-use AMM offers
command logger function
Better yet, Agilent Measurement
Manager application software provides
a quick and easy means to confi gure
and control the device. This enhances
productivity because it allows users
to start performing measurement
promptly without needing to write any
programming codes.
The Agilent Measurement Manager
also comes with a command logger
function that lets you capture
commands that can be easily
converted to VEE programs for VEE
users.
