Changing Parameters Now let´s change a number field Press the navigation knob once to focus at the number field. Turn the navigation knob When you rotate the navigation knob to set the number the value changes. You can do this in run time. It let’s you immediately see the changes on a scope.
Setting Up a Data Pattern Imagine, you have designed a new digital circuit with ECL logic and 3.3 GHz clock, and you want to check its correct behavior. To test it, you decide to simulate a 32-bit pattern signal with NRZ data output format: 11110011100110010010100100000000 Protect the DUT...

Setting Up a Data Pattern Reconnect the DUT When you are done, you can reconnect the DUT by clicking the following softkey: If you attach a scope (as DUT), you can immediately see the signal You can use the generator’s trigger output to trigger the scope. The LEDs tell you which outputs are enabled Enable the Trigger Output ...

What Else You Can Do 81133A and 81134A Pulse/Pattern Generators are high- end, easy-to-use tools for generating pulses, patterns and data at speeds up to 3.35 MHz. They are ideal instruments for testing logic devices (for example, ECL, LVPECL, LVDS) and other digital devices with clock rates from 15 MHz to 3.35 GHz.

Requirements and Possibilities for Remote Control Using the Pulse Generator's Remote Control Interfaces You can integrate the Pulse Generator in your production environment. Its remote programming interfaces (USB, LAN, GPIB) allow you to set up extensive tests that involve several instruments. The accompanying I/O Libraries for instrument control must be installed on the controlling PC.
