High-performance functions
This new range of DDS generators comprises three models, including two
(GX 310-P and GX 320-E) available in a 100%-programmable version with
an SCPI standard USB link and Ethernet on the GX 320-E.
The GX 305 and GX 310 are ideal for education and technical training, as
well as for R&D, test and production technicians.
The GX 320 (20 MHz) offers additional functions for higher education, R&D
engineers and scientific research.
The DDS technology represents a major step forward for function
generators, with a large number of improvements:
- exceptional accuracy and stability
- spectral purity
- low phase noise
In addition, these generators sweep a wide frequency range while keeping a
constant phase when there are frequency jumps.
Performance and flexible use:
Adjustment of the frequency guaranteed stable to the nearest digit and
a smart accelerator with automatic range changes for the frequency
Automatic range changes optimized for the "LEVEL and OFFSET"
amplitude
Duty cycle adjustable without variation or division of the frequency
"LOGIC" function for a quick, simple way of generating logical signals
with directly adjustable thresholds
A rugged generator with 60 Vdc / 40 Vac protected outputs
Slaving and display of the frequency
Control and display of the AMPLITUDE with a choice of
Vpp (peak/peak) or Vrms (root mean square) and the Vdc OFFSET
Control and display of the duty cycle (DUTY)
100 MHz frequencymeter, CAT I - 300 V
Modulation, Shift K & BURST functions (GX 320)
The GX 320 includes internal and external modulation (AM, FM), as well as
linear and logarithmic sweeps. The Shift K function can be used for phase
or frequency jumps.
With the BURST function, users can choose the number of cycles per time period. This function can be used for even more detailed analysis
and detection of very short events.
It is also possible to set up several GX 320 generators in a cascade arrangement.
Synchronization of several generators in a cascade
arrangement
The "SYNC" function on the GX 320 allows several generators
to be set up in a cascade arrangement to make a variable-phase
multiple signal generator.
A first GX 320, used as the "Master", provides the other "Slave"
instruments with the clock used to generate the signals. It also
supplies the synchronizing pulse to start all the instruments
simultaneously. In this way, the phase shift of each signal is
controlled.
The "burst" function is widely used in optics,
notably for checking the quality of crystals

GX 320 Slave 1
GX 320 Slave 2
Example 2: simulated Fourier synthesis
Synchronization of the generators (3 in this
example) allows simulated synthesis of a
square signal from its primary harmonics.
Example 1: simulation of a three-phase signal
Channel 1: master (0°)
Channel 2: slave1 (120°)
Channel 3: slave2 (-120°)
