Spectrum Instrumentation and cost-effective COTS PC-parts offer a way to produce high-frequency arbitrary waveforms, directly from a PC.
The new PCIe flagship AWG cards generate nearly any waveform with up to 10 GS/s output rates, 2.5 GHz bandwidth, and 16-bit vertical resolution.
The AWG cards offer a massive onboard memory of up to 8 GigaSamples (16 GB) and the possibility to stream data at up to 10 GigaBytes per second directly from CPUs or even GPUs.
The four AWG variants deliver waveform generation with bandwidths of 2.5 and 1.5 Gigahertz (GHz) and output rates of 10, 5 or 3.2 Gigasamples per second (GS/s).
For demanding applications, data can even be continuously streamed directly to the AWG for replay in a FIFO mode – a process that allows almost limitless waveform production.
Waveforms can be output in Single-shot, Repeated and Multiple Replay modes.
Individual cards have one or two analog output channels. To create larger multi-channel systems, cards can be connected together using the company’s proprietary Star-Hub clock and trigger synchronization module.
The new flagship AWGs are available with one or two output channels, which can be used single-ended or differential.
All products are shipped together with SDKs for C++, C#, Python, VB.NET, Julia, Java and IVI.
The Spectrum M5i.63xx series AWGs are available for immediate delivery and include a five-year warranty.
