Description
High-Performance PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator
The Tabor 5200 PXI Waveform Generator provides a cost-effective and versatile solution for PXI-based test systems. With a 50MS/s sample rate and single-channel design, it efficiently generates high-fidelity sine, square, and arbitrary waveforms for communications, power electronics, and advanced research applications. Its 14-bit vertical resolution ensures precise waveform reproduction, suitable for sensitive measurements and simulations.
Extensive Modulation and Sequencing
The 5200 supports AM, FM, Arbitrary FM, FSK, Ramped FSK, and Sweep modulation types, allowing full control over frequency and amplitude variations. Its sequencing engine links up to 4096 waveform segments, each of which can be repeated in bursts or triggered independently. This capability allows the creation of complex waveform sequences while optimizing memory usage, enhancing test throughput in automated systems.
High-Speed Memory and ArbConnection Software
With 1M waveform memory and ultra-fast DMA-based downloads, the 5200 enables rapid switching between multiple waveforms, minimizing test downtime. ArbConnection software provides a graphical interface to generate, edit, and import waveforms from MATLAB, ASCII, or custom designs. The FM composer and waveform editor allow users to create arbitrary or frequency-modulated waveforms in seconds.
Flexible Triggering and Multi-Instrument Synchronization
Triggers can be sourced from PXI bus lines, front panel inputs, or manual commands, offering precise control over waveform initiation. Multiple 5200 modules can be synchronized within a chassis for phase-controlled multi-channel outputs, ideal for simulating multi-phase systems or communication signals.
Compact and Future-Proof Design
Occupying a single PXI slot, the 5200 saves bench and chassis space while delivering high-performance functionality. Its versatility as a function generator, sequencer, and modulation generator ensures adaptability for current and future testing requirements, making it a reliable and efficient choice for engineers and researchers.
