The N6030A Series instruments are wideband arbitrary waveform
generators (AWGs) capable of creating high-resolution waveforms for radar,
satellite and frequency agile communication systems. Each channel of the
N6030A and N6031A AWGs operate at 1.25 GS/s and each channel of the
N6032A and N6033A operate at 625 MS/s. The N6030A and N6032A
feature 15 bits of vertical resolution and the N6031A and N6033A 10 bits of
vertical resolution. The instruments are 4-slot 3U CompactPCI modules that
offer dual differential output channels to drive both single-ended and
balanced designs.
The AWGs include a complete software suite to speed waveform
development and system integration supporting MATLAB®, VEE,
LABVIEW, and IVI-C programmatic interfaces. In addition, the following
two options are available:
