Talon Instruments MA1801 Arbitrary Dual Waveform Generator Simple Type: Waveform Generator

The Model MA1801 is a single slot MA-Module that contains two 14-bit arbitrary waveform generator channels which can operate independently or in lock step. The maximum sample rate is 125 MS/s. All waveforms are output from data loaded into waveform memory. Waveform memory (1M samples/channel) is provided so that multiple waveforms can be loaded at once. Also, memory paging allows one page of memory to be outputting while the other page is being re-loaded with new data. Powerful sequencing allows waveform segments to be looped and output in any order. There are also provisions for jumping to different sequences based on a trigger input (with or without return). Flexible triggering is also provided to start/stop/restart the waveform or for advancing to the next segment. A sync pulse can be placed anywhere in the waveform. It also can be of varying width. During the sync pulse, an alternate waveform can replace the waveform currently being output. Up to 4 adjacent MA1801 modules can be linked together (in a VXI carrier, for example) to provide 8 ARB channel outputs which are running synchronously.
