Model 2030
Multifunction Waveform Synthesizer
The Model 2030 Multifunction Waveform Synthesizer is a high-perfor-
mance, easy-to-use instrument that provides an unprecedented function-
ality and waveform fidelity at a very affordable price. With a large
interactive graphic display, 50 MHz data point output rate, and an end-
less selection and combination of functions, it can address a wide range
of applications in any situation that requires high precision, flexibility,
and speed.
Incorporating GPIB control and a floating analog output, the 2030
meets the most stringent requirements of automated test systems,
including tests where programmability and precisely generated signals,
such as sine waves, pulses, arbitrary functions, random noise, combina-
tions of functions, and modulations, are essential for successful testing.
By using a proprietary combination of digital signal processing and
innovative state-of-the-art, high-speed analog techniques, this synthesiz-
er offers a degree of waveform accuracy, stability, and resolution not
previously achieved in any single synthesizer instrument. For example,
harmonic distortion of the sine wave output is typically –80 dB
(≤ 100 kHz), with an output amplitude flatness better than ± 0.1 dB,
increasing to only 0.3 dB at 20 MHz.
The range of standard functions and features extends to phase, FM, and
multimode AM modulation modes and includes many advanced fea-
tures such as linear and logarithmic sweeping and sinx/x modulations.
All standard functions, including noise and glitch, can be summed to
achieve the desired custom output.
A library of additional waveforms includes Fast Rise Square Wave,
Sin
3
x, Sinx/x, Glitch, RC Low Pass and RC High Pass. For highly spe-
cialized functions, the unit will accept data files through its IEEE-488
interface. The deep dual memory capacity of over 250,000 data points
with high-speed output (20 ns/point) makes this instrument an ideal sig-
nal source for bench, laboratory, and manufacturing test environments.
