Features | Benefits |
| DPX® Live RF spectrum display | Discover previously unseen signal behavior. Improve test confidence and catch very short duration transients missed by conventional spectrum analyzers. |
| Triggering expertise | Save time by isolating signal anomalies that other instruments can't even trigger on. Isolate hard to find hardware and software anomalies with cross domain triggering between multiple instruments. |
| Seamless data capture | Observe the entire duration of signal events, like frequency hopping sequences, PLL settling times, turn on transients, and multiple pulses. |
| Multi-domain time correlation | Accelerate troubleshooting and analysis by pinpointing the root cause of problems in multiple domains. Analyze captured data in any/all domains at any time with correlated markers. |
| Automatic pulse measurement and detection | Simplify test and save test time with multiple measurements on the same captured data. Reduce cost of test with a versatile single instrument that replaces multiple test sets. |

25 Common Things You Can Do With an Arbitrary/Function GeneratorAn acquisition instrument - usually an oscilloscope or logic analyzer - is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about making electronic measurements. But these tools can only make a measurement when they are able to acquire a signal of some kind. And there are many instances in which no such signal is available unless it is externally provided. |

A Matter Of Time: Today's RF Signals Call For A Different Kind Of Spectrum AnalysisThis technical brief discusses the changing nature of today's RF signal. These changes call for a different kind of spectrum analysis, where it was once enough to understand frequency-domain behavior, another dimension, time, has become equally important. |
