TTi TGA1241 - 40MS/s Single Channel Waveform Generator in 3U Half Rack Size Case

EXTERNAL ARB CLOCK INPUT
WIDE RANGE SWEEP
TONE SWITCHING
INTER-CHANNEL TRIGGERING, SUMMING and PHASE CONTROL

Universal Generators
The TGA1200 series combine a true variable clock arbitrary generator with a high performance DDS function generator and pulse generator in a single instrument.

A True Arbitrary Generator
The TGA1200 series are highly sophisticated 12-bit arbitrary generators capable of recreating virtually any waveform.

Variable Clock Architecture
True variable clock architecture is used with clock speeds between 0.1Hz and 100MHz (40MHz on TGA124x units). This architecture avoids the clock jitter associated with DDS arbitrary generators and permits waveform linking, looping and sequencing. (See page five for more about variable clock architecture).

Waveforms may be defined with up to 4096 vertical points and from 8 to 1M horizontal points (4 to 64K points on TGA124x units). Arbitrary waveforms may be replayed at a specified waveform frequency, period or sample rate. An external sample clock can also be used on TGA1210x units. On TGA124x units, up to 100 user-defined waveforms can be stored within the instrument’s non-volatile memory. On TGA1210x units waveform storage is on removable Compact Flash memory cards and is therefore effectively unlimited.

Function Generator
Each channel can operate as a full DDS function generator. High quality sine, cosine, haversine, havercosine and square waves are available between 1mHz and 16MHz (TGA124x) or 40MHz (TGA1210x).

Triangle, ramp and sine(x)/x waveforms are available from 0.1mHz up to 100kHz.

Pulse Generator
Each channel can generate not just pulses but complex pulse trains. A pattern of up to 10 pulses can be quickly defined with each pulse having its own amplitude, width and delay.

The whole pulse train pattern can then be replayed at a user defined repetition rate. Where variable rise time pulses are required, the full arbitrary function can be used.

MULTI-CHANNEL OPERATION

Channel Relationships

The channels of a multi-channel unit can be operated entirely independently, as if they were separate generators. The "copy" key allows the settings of any channel to be instantly copied to another when required. Alternatively, inter-channel relationships of modulation, summing, triggering, or phase locking can be set up.

System Clock

The TGA12102/12104 units incorporate an additional frequency generator which can be used as a clock source for multi-channel arbitrary waveforms and as an auxiliary output.

The output of the system clock is available as a 1 volt pk-pk sinewave at the Auxiliary Sine Out socket, and as a logic level squarewave at the Ext. ARB In/Out socket.

When not being used as a clock source for multi-channel arbitrary waveforms, the system clock provides an independent fixed amplitude sine or square output which is additional to the two or four main channel outputs.

Inter-channel Modulation

The waveform from any channel may be used to Amplitude Modulate (AM) or Suppressed Carrier Modulate (SCM) the next channel. Alternatively any number of channels may be Modulated (AM or SCM) with the signal at the MODULATION input socket.
