Agilent 33220
Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generator
The Agilent 33220A function / arbitrary waveform generator uses direct
digital synthesis (DDS) techniques to create stable, low-distortion output
signals. The 33220A provides easy access to standard sine, square, ramp,
triangle, and pulse waveforms plus you can create custom waveforms using
the 50 MSa/s, 14 bit, 64 K-point arbitrary waveform function.
For additional information, refer to the Agilent 33220 Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generator User’s Guide.
Agilent E6247A (VXI
Technology E1563A)
2-Channel 800kSa/s A/D
Digital Converter
(Digitizer or ADC)
The Agilent E6247A contains an VXI Technology E1563A 2-Channel A/D
Converter (Digitizer or ADC) and cables. The E1563A has two differential
channels that allow simultaneous measurements of two waveforms (for
example, the voltage and current waveform of the load signal).
In the factory default configuration, Channel 1 (Adc1Hi/Adc1Lo) input
provides direct access to the Agilent E6171B’s attenuator output.
Connecting the digitizer allows you to digitize a high voltage like an
inductive flyback, while maintaining the resolution to also measure the
driver’s saturation voltage all in a single measurement cycle for high
throughput testing. Channel 2 input (Adc2Hi/Adc2Lo) is connected to the
interconnection column (ABus). Connecting the Digitizer to this way allows
it to be routed to any input of the UUT.
Note For additional information, refer to the Agilent E11563A 2-Channel A/D
Converter User’s Manual.
Direct Connect
Instruments
Several of the VXI modules supported by the Agilent TS-5400 System are
not multiplexed through a pin matrix card, but directly connected to the Test
System Interface or Mass Interconnect. These optional products include the
Agilent E6174A Event Detector and the Agilent E1418A 16-Channel DAC
Module.
Agilent E6174A
32-Channel Event
Detector
The Agilent E6174A Event Detector (formerly Agilent Z2902) provides the
capability to analyze 32-channel input event states and timings. The events
are stored in memory on the board, then the events can be read back by the
controller for event analysis. Either the Agilent E6174A's internal sampling
clock may be used or an external clock can be selected to expand the
measurement time.
Note For specific information, refer to the Agilent E6174A 32-Channel Event
Detector User’s Manual.
Agilent E1418A
16-Channel
Digital/Analog Converter
Module
The Agilent E1418A is an 8 or 16 channel digital-to-analog converter
module. Each channel can be configured for either voltage or current output
mode. When configured for voltage output, voltages in the range of -16.0 to
+16.0 Volts can be set. When configured for current output, currents in the
range of -0.02 to +0.02 Amps can be set. The channel output mode can be
programmatically set, or it can be forced to either voltage or current by
mechanical jumpers on the terminal block. The E1418A can be configured
