High Quality Signals at an Affordable Price
Agilent expands its Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator family with the addition of the affordable yet high quality 10MHz 33210A. Using the same platform of the popular 20 MHz 33220A, Agilent now offers a choice to better match the product to the needs of the application.
Agilent has introduced a new member of the 33200 family that delivers high-quality waveforms at an economical price.
For design development and test engineers who need lower-frequency signals without sacrificing accuracy, this new instrument easily generates the waveforms needed for bench and system applications. Now users have a choice between the 10 MHz 33210A, the 20 MHz 33220A, and the 80 MHz 33250A.
“Engineers in R&D and manufacturing need an easy way to create accurate and reliable waveforms, and only want to buy what they need," said Gary Whitman, vice president and general manager of Agilent's System Products Division. "The 33210A generates waveforms with the low harmonic distortion and amplitude stability important to engineers for testing and qualification of their devices and designs. With minimal button pushes, it allows users to easily generate high-quality signals and even custom waveforms all at a lower price point."
The 33210A provides stable, accurate and low-distortion signals with up to 10 built-in waveforms. It is the newest member of the market-leading product family that includes the 33220A and 33250A higher-performance, higher frequency function/arbitrary waveform generators. The front panel has an easy-to-use interface, allowing the user to quickly set up and generate many types of signals without the need to program the instrument. For more complex waveforms, the optional 14-bit 50 MSa/s 8K point arbitrary waveform generator (option 002) can be added to the base unit.
The 33210A is fully compliant with the LXI class C specification. It has USB 2.0, 10/100 Base-T Ethernet (LAN) and GPIB interfaces as standard features, enabling quick and simple connectivity to a PC or a network. In addition, it can be remotely operated from any web browser by simply connecting to its built-in web server.
