The Picotest G5100A 50 MHz Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator can
create stable, precise, clean and low distortion sine waves by using DDS
(Direct Digital Synthesis) Technology. With fast rise and fall times up to
25 MHz for square waves and 200 KHz for linear ramp waves , the G5100A also
can reach users demand on waveforms. It can also can generate
variable-edge-time pulses up to 10 MHz. With variable period, pulse width and
amplitude the G5100A is perfectly suited to applications requiring a
flexible pulse signal
If an unique Waveform is needed, the G5100-A can generate variable-edge-time
pulses up to 10 MHz. With variable period, pulse width and amplitude the
G5100A is perfectly suited to applications requiring a flexible pulse
signal.
Included in the purchase, Picotest Waveform Editor Software Wavepatt allows
users to create, edit and download complex waveforms. In addition, users can
retrieve waveforms from Agilent Oscilloscope MSO 8104 by using the Wavepatt
Software. A User can use Wavepatt to create and store 16-bit data in G5100A.
The data can be transmitted via Pattern Out from G5100A rear panel as source
for control.

The front-panel operation of G5100A is simple and user
friendly. Users can enter all functions with a single key or two, and use
knob or numeric keypad to adjust frequency, amplitude, offset and other
parameters. Otherwise, users can also directly input voltage values in Vpp,
Vrms, dBm or high & low levels. Timing parameters can be entered in Hertz
(Hz) or second.
Users can easily use the following functions.
- Internal modulations of AM, FM, PM (PSK), FSK & PWM for waveform adjustment.
- Built-in linear and logarithmic sweeps from 1ms to 500 s.
- The burst mode has a selectable number of cycles per period of time.
- Using remote control via USB, LAN or Opt. GPIB interface.
- The programmability by SCPI commands under the remote control connection.
- Precise phase adjustments and calibrations can be done from the front panel
or via a PC.
The G5100A external frequency reference allows users synchronizing to an
external 10 MHz clock, to another G5100A, or any other unit which can
support 10-MHz-frequency-input function
