Using a Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator to Generate Pulses
Application Notes
Engineers typically use pulse generators to create pulses for characterizing digital devices. A pulse generator is well suited for applications that require fast transition times, high accuracy or frequencies higher than 50 MHz. A dedicated pulse generator may offer multiple channels, pattern generation, double pulses, RZ (return-to-zero) pulses, and the ability to add jitter to the pulse train. When you are testing complex logic, these features give you the capabilities you need to get your job done.
