Keysight Technologies has decided to discontinue the production of the 33220A function/arbitrary waveform generators on December 1, 2016. The last day to place an order for these products is November 30, 2016. Committed to providing world-class customer support, Keysight will continue to support these products for the standard period of 5 years. The replacement models for the 33220A waveform generators are Keysight’s next-generation Trueform waveform generators.

Keysight 33500B Series of waveform generators with exclusive Trueform technology offer more capability, fidelity and flexibility than traditional DDS waveform generators.
