Keysight Technologies Comparison: 33220A/33250A to 33500B/33600A Trueform Series Waveform Generators Migration Guide
02 | Keysight | Comparison: 33220A/33250A to 33500B/33600A Trueform Series Waveform Generators – Migration Guide Introduction The Keysight Technologies, Inc. 20-MHz 33220A and 80-MHz 33250A are function/ arbitrary waveform generators that have established themselves as two of the premiere such instruments on the market today. Their replacements, Keysight’s new 33500B and 33600A Trueform Series waveform generators are designed to offer users more capability, signal fidelity, and updated interfaces.

04 | Keysight | Comparison: 33220A/33250A to 33500B/33600A Trueform Series Waveform Generators – Migration Guide Key differences –– The Trueform generators use different signal generation technology than the older 33220A/33250A. The older generators use DDS-based technology, while the Trueform technology is unique to Keysight generators. Trueform offers greater waveform integrity than DDS architectures.
05 | Keysight | Comparison: 33220A/33250A to 33500B/33600A Trueform Series Waveform Generators – Migration Guide Conclusion The next-generation of waveform generators—Keysight’s Trueform Series generators—are here. For those users migrating from older Keysight equipment to this next generation, the new Trueform Series generators offer signal fidelity that exceeds that of older generators and are virtual drop-in replacements for the 33220A/33250A function generators.
