Data Sheets

M3201A PXIe Arbitrary Waveform Generator with Optional Real-Time Sequencing and FPGA Programming

500 MSa/s, 16 Bits, 4 Channels

Generate High-Precision, Complex, Real-World Signals

The M3201A high-performance, high-bandwidth arbitrary waveform generator combines an advanced waveform generation system with embedded function generators and modulators (frequency/phase/amplitude) for broadband and IF signal generation. Performance meets simplicity thanks to easy-to-use programming libraries, real-time sequencing technology (Hard Virtual Instrumentation or HVI technology), and graphical FPGA programming technology.
