Signal Integrity As technology is evolving and new devices are developed every day, faster signals are needed to simulate and stimulate these new devices. The 5064 provides the highest bandwidth in its class and hence providing accurate duplication and simulation of test signals. With its wide range of sample clock generator (up to 50 MS/s), 16-bit vertical resolution and wide output bandwidth (over 25 MHz), one can create mathematical profiles, download the coordinates to the instrument and re-generate waveforms without compromising their fidelity and compatibility to the original design.

Four Synchronized Channels The 5064 has four output channels of which are all synchronized to the same reference clock and share the same sample clock. This is not a limitation because the output frequency is a function of the number of points which are used for creating the waveform shape. On the other hand, the advantage of having four synchronized channels is huge in applications that require accurate and controlled phase between channels. Many applications require XY drive so two channels is just what is needed however, for three phase power simulation and four channel MEMS micro engine actuators, the Model 5064 is the most suitable product to use.

High Speed Function Generator Care to use the instrument as a function generator? No need to fuss with loading complex waveform coordinates because the 5064 does the work for you. Select the standard waveforms tab and start generating any one from the ten waveforms that are pre-computed and available for immediate use. Included are: sine, triangle, square, pulse, ramp, sinc and others. Remember, however, that waveforms are created from sampling waveform points and therefore some of the waveforms cannot be generated above certain frequencies where the number of points are insufficient to draw a perfect shape. Regardless, using some trick, the 5064 will generate standard sine and square waveforms up to 25 MHz.

Stable and Accurate Output Signals As standard, the instrument is equipped with a frequency reference that has 1ppm accuracy and stability over a period of 1 year. An external frequency reference is provided on the rear panel for applications requiring greater accuracy and stability.

Waveform Memory and Memory Segmentation Waveform memory is the internal "black board" where the waveforms are created and reside. Large memory bank provides for longer waveforms. One can use the entire memory for a single waveform or split the length to smaller segments. In this case, many waveforms can be stored in the same memory and replayed, one-at-a-time, when recalled to the output. The memory segmentation is combined with a sequence generator that can take different memory segments and link (and loop) them in any order as required for the test. The ability to loop waveform segments in a sequence saves a lot of memory space and hence, extends the capability of the generator to produce complex and much longer waveforms, which would otherwise require large banks of memory. The 5064 has four sequence generators that can be designed to generate unique sequences for each of its output channels.

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.

Remote Control Access speed is an increasingly important requirement for test systems. Included with the instrument is a variety of interfaces: Ethernet, USB and GPIB so one may select the most suitable interface for the application. Remote control of instrument functions, parameters and waveform download is easily tailored to specific system environment regardless if it is just a laptop to instrument or full-featured ATE system. IVI drivers and factory support will speed up system integration and hence minimize time-to-market as well as significantly reduce system development costs.

Multiple Environments to Write Your Code Model 5064 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.

Remote Calibration Normal calibration cycles in the industry range from one to three years where instruments are sent to a service center, opened to allow access to trimmers, calibrated and certified for repeated usage. Leading-edge technology was implemented to allow calibration from any interface, USB, GPIB or LAN. Calibration factors are stored in a flash memory thus eliminating the need to open instrument covers.

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 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 5064 can be synchronized using a Master-Slave arrangement allowing users to benefit from the same high quality performance in their multi-channels system.
