One-channel PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generator PXA125 with 2Mword memory
|
The PXA125 is a 125MS/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator that features a combination of arbitrary generator and synthesizer in a 1-slot 3U PXI form factor. Combined with its versatility, high resolution and wide frequency range the PXA125 offers the best timing arbitrary waveform generator within the compact, sturdy, modular architecture of PXI.
The PXA125 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is fully PXI compliant and based on the desktop computer industry standard PCI bus. The plug and play functionality of the PXA125 provides ease of set-up and use. It seamlessly integrates with LeCroy PXD family of digitizers from
150 MHz to 500 MHz and other PXI modules. Fast data transfer rates and improvements in test times are realized compared to traditional GPIB instruments.
The PXA125 includes ArbConnection, a software package that combines three powerful tools: instrument control panel, waveform composer, and FM signal composer. The detailed front panel offers full control of the instrument while the waveform composer allows you to generate, edit and download complex waveforms. Finally, the FM signal composer allows you to generate and download complex modulating signals.
The LeCroy PXA125 provides a cost efficient, space efficient, high performance waveform generating solution for production test applications including:
Technical Specifications
Multiple Instrument Synchronization
Multiple instruments can be connected together and synchronized to provide multi-channel synchronization with a phase offset of 0 to n points. Initial skew is <20
ns to the first master; 20 ns cumulative to additional slaves

| SYNC/Marker Output
|
|
In FM and sweep modes, this output generates a marker having properties similar to the sync pulse output. For all other functions and modes, this output generates sync pulse, which is synchronous with the output waveform.
Front panel BNC provides >2V into 50Ω, 4V nominal into 10KΩ, temporary short circuit protected. Position and width programmable with 4-point resolution.
|
|
|
| Sine Output
|
|
| Front panel output SMB provides sine wave up to 100MHz, 1V into 50Ω, derived directly from the sample clock, even during FM, sweep FSK and ramped FSK.
