Tektronix AWG 500
Arbitrary Waveform Generator,1 GS/s sample clock rate
Description
As a member of the Tektronix family of arbitrary generators,
the AWG 500 Series is a high performance,
mixed-signal source. The AWG 500 Series provides
1 GS/s sample clock rate and 4 Mword execution
memories.
Its unique design integrates a graphical editing display
with the most powerful hardware output
capabilities available. This allows on-screen viewing
of waveform editing and simplifies “what-if” test scenarios
by easily allowing the creation of composite
signals.
The AWG 500 uses a graphical user interface to overcome
the historical difficulties associated with
developing arbitrary and complex waveforms.
Several intuitive and powerful techniques are built-in
to develop and edit custom waveforms.
The standard AWG 510 configuration provides
up to 2 V output or 4 V into a
differential input with the complementary
output, each with 10-bits vertical
resolution. Option 03 adds an independent
10-bit-wide digital data port which
can be used in conjunction with the
marker outputs for data generation up to
12-bits wide at up to 1 GHz (14-bits
AWG 520).
The standard AWG 520 configuration provides
2 channels. Each channel provides
10-bit vertical resolution with amplitudes
up to 2 Vp-p.
