Trueform Technology Unmatched capabilities for generating a full range of signals for the most demanding requirements The 33500B Series waveform generators offer the common signals and features you expect, such as modulation, sweep, and burst. But the 33500B Series offers many more features that give you the capabilities and flexibility you need to get your job done. Like an intuitive front-panel user interface that makes it easy to quickly relearn it when you’ve been focused elsewhere.
DDS skips points at higher bandwidths DDS technology may skip points at higher frequencies Trueform never skips points, and is always anti-aliased Define any waveform shape and any waveform length using point-by -point arbitrary waveform capability. Your waveforms are always anti-aliased for exceptional accuracy, and you can play them at any rate you select.
Trueform Technology Capabilities continued Easily generate PRBS waveforms on the 33500B Series waveform generators. Pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) pattern generation Test your digital serial buses by streaming standard PRBS patterns— like PN7 and PN19—without the need for a separate pulse generator. With fewer instruments, setting up your tests is easier. You won’t find these built-in PRBS patterns in competitive waveform generators.
Built-in Web browser Easily set up and control your 33500B Series generator remotely over a LAN connection using the built-in LXI Web browser. You can monitor your tests and adjust settings from another office or room, or even from home. Standard deep memory If you want to test your design with long, complex waveforms with a variety of anomalies, you need to make sure your waveform generator has sufficient memory. The 33500B Series’ standard memory is 1 MSamples deep.
Trueform Technology Signal integrity: Test your devices with confidence that your signal generator is outputting the signals you expect If your generator is introducing spurious signals or harmonics, you’ll have a hard time producing reliable designs. To be successful, you need to test with clean, precise, low-noise signals. Keysight 33500B Series waveform generators offer the highest signal fidelity so you can generate the exact waveforms you need for your most challenging measurements.
Reproduce lower-voltage output signals Full bandwidth modulation sources Today’s ultra-low-power products such as pacemakers, hearing aids and remote sensors use very low voltages. The 33500B Series lets you create signals as low as 1 mVpp. That’s 10x better amplitude resolution than typical waveform generators offer. Eliminate the need for an external modulation source. The 33500B Series has a modulation frequency up to the frequency of the waveform being modulated.
Trueform Technology Select the capabilities you need now, then upgrade easily when your needs change Investment protection Application-specific options With most waveform generators, you get only what you pay for when you buy your instrument. But with 33500B Series waveform generators, there are eight different models to choose from so you can purchase the capability you need now and upgrade later when your project needs change. Your investment in test equipment is protected.
