Model 630 / Model 6320 pages
The Model 630 Arbitrary Waveform Function Generator represents the finest single source for signal generation to date.
Combining the latest DSP and DSS technologies, the 630 offers a number of operating modes, providing a versatile,
cost-effective signal source. You will find the 630 is the best value and most capable instrument for any bench.
Arbitrary Waveform Function Generator, Sweep Function Generator, Pulse, VCO, AM, FM,
Ø Modulation, FSK and Burst Modes are all accessed quickly and easily from the front panel
keypad. Being a true 12 bit arbitrary generator, the 630 is stable, accurate and drift free.
Unlike competitive models, the 630 generates every data point independently of the
repetition rate instead of a simple look-up table. Custom design waveforms on a PC, or
download from a number of sources, spread sheet, oscilloscope or application program - the
630 will perform like no other signal source.
t Recreate "real-world" signals t More standard waveforms
t More operating modes t "The best of both worlds"– EDN
t Simulates normal and aberrant situations
The 630 represents a major breakthrough in signal generation and analysis. This versatile instrument
has capabilities that allow the engineer to use it in a broad range of that include communications, radio,
telephony, analog/digital circuit design and test.
The 630 is much more than a signal generator. Never before has so much versatility, capability and
performance been packed into a single low-cost instrument. Its architecture is based on the latest
advances in DSP and DDS technology which not only ensures calibrated and drift-free performance, but
also gives the engineer signal analysis functions such as DTMF Detection and Power Level
Measurement. The capabilities of the 630 can continually be enhanced and expanded by downloading
software upgrades to internal Flash memory.
The 630 delivers clean, fully synthesized, DC to 21.5MHz modulated or unmodulated waveforms with
0.01Hz frequency resolution. User-friendly features include a large, easy-to-read illuminated LCD
display which allows the user to see all modulation parameters simultaneously and a full numeric
keypad and encoder which provide direct editing of each parameter. No confusing submenus!
Arbitrary Waveform Function Generator
The Arbitrary Waveform Function Generator allows you to design custom waveforms on your
personal computer and download them to the 630 which generates them in real-time. The Arbitrary
Waveform Generator system is also used to generate pulse waveforms with an adjustable duty cycle and
a suite of pre-stored Function Generator waveforms. Arbitrary waveforms may either be designed with
a graphical Windows®-based design tool or be generated point-by-point in a variety of data formats from
your own application software. A floppy diskette with a data generator program, example waveforms,
and a downloader utility are included with this option.
