Measurably better value waveform generation - Function Generators 15. Digital Function Generators Digital function generators can be divided into three broad categories: 1. DDS* Function Generators without Arbitrary - these perform a similar function to an analog function generator, but with the advantages of DDS based stability, resolution, and sinewave purity. The TG2000 falls into this category. 2. DDS Function/Arbitrary Generators - these have the ability to produce arbitrary waveforms in addition to standard waveforms, but within the limitation imposed by using a DDS system. The TG1010A...

Measurably better value ARB generator types Universal Arbitrary Waveform Generators - comparison table (see also TG series - page 14) Arbitrary generator describes a class of digital generator potentially capable of reproducing any waveform shape. There are two distinctly different ways in which arbitrary waveforms can be produced - DDS and Variable Clock *. Because each manufacturer may choose a different description for their product, it is not easy to know which underlying technology is being used. There are three broad classes of arbitrary waveform generator: 1. Generators that use DDS (direct...
