Model 52392- PRELIMINARY

2.3GS/s PXIe Dual Channel (IQ) Arbitrary Waveform Generator

The 52392, 2.3GS/s Dual Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator, is the world’s fastest PXIBased IQ/AWG generator having, by far, the highest benchedmarked bandwidth of 1GHz. It offers unrivaled performance, even when compared to instruments designed to generate fewer types of signals or higher sampling rates. Its unique 2-slot width, saves valuable chassis space and cost without compromising bandwidth and signal integrity.

Signal Integrity and Purity

One of the most important requirement in today’s testing and measurement applications is high signal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of <-115dBc at 100MHz, and <-95dBc at 1GHz, at 10 kHz carrier offset and with exceptionally good SFDR of <-70dBc at 1GHz carrier, Tabor’s 52392 unique platform delivers one of the best quality signals available on the market today, answering the ever-growing demand for clear and precise signals.

Universal Waveform Source

Aside from its natural ability to generate arbitrary shapes with waveform granularity of 1 point, the 52392 can also be used as a full-featured standard, modulation or pulse generator to solve various applications. Equipped with 2.3GS/s 14-bit DAC and 16M points (16M/32M optional) memory, the 52392 can generate literally any waveform, short or long, at frequencies up to 1GHz with 12 digits of resolution, resulting in the highest precision signal creation and regeneration without compromising signal fidelity or system integrity.

HV or DC Outputs

The 52392 offers two alternative DC coupled, single or differential ended, output options. The standard output configuration is a 1.2Vp-p into 50? with 1GHz bandwidth for applications demanding optimized transitions and aberrations, whereas the optional HV output configuration offer 2Vpp into 50? with 700MHz bandwidth, for applications demanding higher voltage.

Common Clocks

The 52392 has two fully synchronized output channels. The advantage of having two synchronized channels with less than 5ps skew control is very significant in applications that require an accurate and controlled phase between the two channels, which is ideal for many X-Y modes and I&Q output applications.

Four Programmable Markers

The 52392 is equipped with four programmable markers. The programmability allows you to set position and width for any required peripheral triggering need. Alternatively, you can use the markers as digital bits or create multiple markers with different marker properties, allowing various triggering profiles.

Powerful Segmentation and Sequencing

Solving almost every complex application, powerful segmentation and sequencing produces a nearly endless variety of complex waveforms. The waveform memory can be divided into multiple waveform segments and sequenced in user-selectable fashion to create complex waveforms that have repeatable segments, jump and nest, saving you precious memory space. The 52392 also allows you to generate up to 1000 sequence scenarios and sequence between them to generate an even higher level of flexibility in waveform creation.

Dynamic Segment / Sequence Control

Working in the real-time world and need fast waveform switching? The 52392 has a front panel control designed specifically for that. Having the dynamic control feature, in effect, can serve as replacement of the sequence table where the real-time application can decide when and for how long a waveform will be generated. For much more complex applications, this same input may serve as a dynamic switch for complete sequences, creating real-life scenarios for real-time applications.

Smart Trigger

Until now, you've been forced to trigger on a specific event. Tabor's all-new SmarTrigger feature was designed to enhance the trigger capability and facilitate wider flexibility of a specific pulse event. It allows triggering on either a pulse having a larger pulse width than a programmed time value (time), or even on a pulse having a pulse width between two limits (<>time). In addition, the SmarTrigger has a hold-off function, in which the output is held idle after the first trigger and starts a waveform cycle only with the first valid trigger after a holdoff interval has lapsed, allowing you to solve endless "negotiation" scenarios.

Multi-Channel Capability

Need more than two channels to drive your application? Multiple 52392 can be synchronized, allowing users to benefit from the same high quality performance even for multi-channel needs.

Multiple Environments to Write Your Code

Model 52392 comes with a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments such as: Labview, CVI, C++, VB, MATLAB, and Python. You may also link the supplied dll to other Windows based API’s or, use low-level SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) to program the instrument, regardless if your application is written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh operating systems.

ArbConnection

The ArbConnection software provides you with full control of instrument functions, modes and features. ArbConnection is a powerful editorial tool that allows you to easily design any type of waveform. Whether it is the built in wave, pulse or serial data composers, or the built in equation editor with which you can create your own exotic functions, ArbConnection makes virtually any application possible.
