Its two channels can operate independently or synchronized with 10ps resolution. The maximum sine wave bandwidth is 1GHz, allowing it to work with a high-frequency function generator. The WaveXciter series offers two output amplifiers, providing the user with two output paths: common-mode (<2Vpp) or differential (<4Vpp) output at 50W and a 600MHz bandwidth with DC coupling for optimized transitions, or ±5dBm common-mode output with AC coupling for high-bandwidth, high-purity applications up to 1GHz. Unlike current competitors, the WaveXciter series offers AM, FM, FSK, ASK, (n)PSK, (n)QAM, sweep, and hopping modulation functions.
The 16MB of memory can be divided into multiple waveform segments, up to 16,000, and the user can sequence them in any way to recreate truly complex waveforms. In this new series, Tabor has implemented a real-time waveform sequence control function to give the user dynamic control over the output. Furthermore, its 4GB of internal flash memory and USB input for external storage allow for data and program storage.
They have GPIB, USB, and Ethernet communication interfaces. They come with a complete set of drivers for programming in different environments: LabVIEW, CVI, C++, VB, and MATLAB. The user can develop their own application by calling the instrument's DLLs or write their application using SCPI commands, whether in a Windows, Linux, or Macintosh environment.
