Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 625A SMARTARB is an arbitrary waveform generator offering versatile operating modes and measurement capabilities. It features field-installable software upgrades, preventing phase shifts and missed points when changing waveform frequency.
Functional User Interface: The device has a user-friendly interface displaying all parameters on a single screen, with input via a numeric keypad or rotary knob. Modes are clearly labeled for easy selection.
Waveform Generation: Supports ramps, triangles, exponentials, random, and sinewave functions in continuous and triggered operations. The pulse generator allows adjustable amplitudes, offsets, repetition rates, and duty cycles. Custom waveforms can be designed or downloaded without phase jitter.
Technical Specifications: Offers 12-bit resolution, up to 32,768 waveform points, and storage for 10 instrument states. Provides P-P signals up to 10 V, offsets up to 8 V, and supports various modulation modes including AM, FM, PM, SSB, FSK, and BPSK.
Advanced Features: Includes phase locking, non-volatile storage, external gating, data modulation, and word generation capabilities.
Measurement Modes: Measures power and voltage with true RMS power calculated by DSP. Features DTMF detection for decoding Touchtone dialing tones.
Applications: Suitable for adjustable delay generation, digital clock source with jitter, variable bandwidth noise generation, FDA susceptibility testing, audio pitch shifting, and VCO mode for frequency adjustment.
Upgradability and Options: Software upgrades available for new modes and applications. Offers DC operation for portability and a high stability timebase for demanding applications.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator withoutSkipped Points Phase Locking of Several Units Externally Gate All Functions > The Model 625As architecture incorporates the latest in Direct Digital Synthesis,(DDS) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to provide waveforms with no missingpoints or phase jitter. We do not replace the sinewave lookup table with arbitrarywaveform data points, the cause of missing points, but generates a fully synthesizedclock for each frequency. As you change the frequency, the waveforms exhibit nomissing points or phase jitter. This architecture also allows the inclusion of a...
