AWG70001A Arbitrary Waveform Generator--Option AC, Datasheet

AWG70001A Option AC Datasheet

AWG70001A Option AC Datasheet

The AWG70001A, with Option AC, provides you with an additional high output amplitude connector. Option AC adds a single-ended AC coupled Planar Crown connector to the front panel of the single channel AWG70001A Arbitrary Waveform Generator. User controls are added to allow switching the output path between the standard Direct output connectors or the AC output connector. When switched to the AC path, additional user controlled amplification and attenuation is added to the signal path.

In AC output mode, you can chose one of the four signal filter paths and set the output amplitude, letting the instrument to automatically set the step attenuators in the selected filter path. For greater control, you can manually set the attenuation of the step attenuators for your selected filter path.

KeyFeatures
