Versatility Four waveform types may be generated: standard, arbitrary, sequenced arbitrary, and modulated. It is virtually like having four different generators in a single, compact package.

As a Function Generator Most applications require simple and controllable waveforms such as sine and square waves; these functions and more are resident in a built-in library and can be called to the output using simple and easy keystrokes. The built-in waveforms are generated digitally from lookup tables that ensure accuracy and fidelity. The use of DDS technology to generate the controlling clock enhances clock stability and thus provides jitter-free and excellent spectral purity. Sine and square waves can be generated at up to 25MHz. There are eight additional waveforms of which have controllable parameters, all accessible from the front panel.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator Complex waveforms are used for testing purposes throughout the industry. While coordinates for such waveforms can easily be generated on paper or on computers, there is a need for digital instruments to take this data and convert it to electronical signals. An arbitrary waveform generator is about the only tool that can take a set of X-Y coordinates and convert them to real life signals. Combined with the power of ArbConnection, there is no limit to what you can create and generate. Waveform coordinates can be imported from a variety of sources such as MathLab, ASCII files etc. Anything you can display on one of the composer screens is downloaded in split-second time and generated by the main output.

Waveform Memory for High Speed Testing The instruments are sold with 512k waveform memory as standard. Optional 1M waveform memory is offered for applications requiring longer waveforms, placing the 5061 series in a far better position than its traditional competitors. The waveform memory is accessible from a remote host, using fast GPIB, USB or LAN interface thus minimizing test time needed when downloading multiple waveforms for one or more tests. The entire space of the waveform memory is backed up by rechargeable batteries allowing waveforms to be downloaded in the lab and the generator moved to another location for field operation.

Sequence Generator Memory management is a must in today’s arbitrary waveform generators. While very few applications require one long memory, most of the waveforms require a limited number of horizontal points. As a sequence generator, the model 5061 lets you divide the entire memory into 2048 smaller segments, load each segment with a different waveform, and then, select the order in which these segments will be linked and the number of loops that each segment will perform. This allows test software to switch between many different waveforms rapidly and without having to download multiple times, enhancing test throughput in a way that cannot be duplicated by other competing products.

Modulation Capability Agility and modulation capabilities open the door to diverse applications. In addition to the power to generate any shape and any style of waveforms with the arbitrary waveform generation power, the product can generate standard modulation schemes such as AM, FM, Arbitrary FM, FSK, and Linear and Logarithmic sweep, all of which are easily created and executed by the generator.

Flexible Triggering Capability Continuity of signals is required in most application however, at times when single output cycles are required or synchronization to other devices is mandatory, the 5061 can be placed in different run mode that provides synchronization to other system components. Buit into the product are gated, triggered and burst modes of which the last two can be operated with the built-in, free-running trigger generator, when external stimulating devices are not available.

Easy to use Large and user-friendly 3.8” back-lit color LCD display facilitates browsing though menus, updating parameters and displaying detailed and critical information for your waveform output. Combined with numeric keypad, cursor position control and a dial, the front panel controls simplifies the often complex operation of an arbitrary waveform generator.

High Speed Access Access speed is an increasingly important requirement for test systems. Included with the instrument is a variety of interfaces: Ethernet 10/100, USB 2.0 and GPIB so one may select the interface most compatible to individual requirements. Using any of the external interfaces, controlling instrument function and features as well as downloading waveforms and sequences are fast, time saving and easily tailored to every system regardless if it is just a laptop to instrument or full-featured ATE system. IVI drivers and factory support will speed up system integration thus minimizing time-to-market and reduce system development costs significantly.

Multiple Environments to Write Your Code Model 5061 comes with a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments such as: Labview, CVI, C++, VB, MATLAB. 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.

MODULAR Tabor`s MODULAR software package gives wireless design and manufacturing engineers access to the most flexible signal generation tool in the market - the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). The AWG answers virtually all their test stimulus needs at baseband or IF/RF levels, whether required signals are analog or digital. With none of the limitations of traditional generators, Tabor`s AWG allow any signal, simple or composed, clean or noisy, ideal or impaired, to be downloaded and played back.

ArbConnection ArbConnection is a graphical tool that provides an unlimited source of Arbitrary Waveforms. With the ArbConnection software you can control instruments functions, modes and features. You can also create a virtually infinite amount of test waveforms. Freehand sketch allows you to draw your own custom waveform for quick analysis of analog signals. You can use the built-in equation editor to create your own exotic functions. Add or subtract components of a Fourier series to characterize digital or analog filters or inject random noise into a signal to test immunity to auxiliary noise.

Multi-Instrument Synchronization Multiple 5061 can be synchronized using a Master-Slave arrangement allowing users to benefit from the same high quality performance in their multi-channels needs.
