Arbitrary waveform generators from Spectrum.
The arbitrary waveform generators from Spectrum are available in cards with the different form factors (PCI-e, PXI) as well as standalone instruments, called Netbox instruments with an LXI interface for control and readout.
Specifications.
Spectrum arbitrary waveform generators are available in 8-bit, 14-bit and 16-bit resolution. These generators are specifically designed for multi-channel applications (1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48) and fast data transfer from PC memory to the instrument (up to 2.8GB/sec).
By applying FIFO mode, the data transfer from PC memory to the instrument can take place simultaneously with the output of your signal.
In combination with the Spectrum digitizer cards, fast combinations can also be made between waveform characterization and the output of custom waveforms as a result of the characterization.
All Spectrum waveform generators also have possibilities like Multiple replay (segmented memory), Gated replay and sequence mode.
Software.
The arbitrary generators come with an extensive package of software support. Drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems (32 bit and 64 bit) are included. Example programs and drivers for C/C++, LabVIEW (Windows), MATLAB (Windows and Linux), LabWindows/CVI, IVI, .NET, Delphi, Visual Basic and Python are available. A basic license of the Spectrum software SBench 6 is included as standard.
