Direct digital synthesizer 3164

multi-channel

The Racal Instruments™ 3164 Series is a single-wide VXIbus Module. The 3164-2 has two 14-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) channels that operate independently, and the 3164-4 AWG has four channels. The maximum sample rate for each channel is 125 MS/s. All waveforms can be sampled from data previously loaded into waveform memory or loaded and output on the fly. Product Information Built-In Waveforms Standard waveforms such as Sine, Square, Triangle, Ramp, and Pulse are calculated and loaded into waveform memory automatically based on their specified parameters. An AM modulation input is provided for the main AWG channel. Powerful Sweep Capability A large two-page waveform memory (512 k samples/page) is provided so that multiple waveforms can be loaded into memory for fast test execution. Additionally, the contents of one page can be output while the other page is being loaded with fresh data allowing for real-time operation. Wavetek AWG Emulation (optional version) An optional version of the 3164 is available. This option emulates the SCPI command sets of obsolete Wavetek AWGs. While not providing a “drop-in” replacement, this feature helps ease the transition from Wavetek models 1370, 1395, and 1396. Please contact the factory for further details regarding this version.
