Scenario Deep Dive
Core Technology Deconstruction
Adopts a signal generation architecture based on Trueform technology. It uses a 16-bit ADC for signal sampling, combined with a 160 MSa/s sampling rate, to accurately capture signal characteristics, which are then processed internally to generate pure waveforms. The 16-bit resolution ensures amplitude accuracy, enabling signal generation from 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp (cited from product manual).

Full-process Adaptation for Electronic Circuit R&D Testing
Connection: Quick connection to PC or network via USB, LAN, or GPIB interfaces, facilitating integration into test systems (cited from product manual)
Setup: Waveforms can be created using the built-in front-panel editor or downloaded from an oscilloscope to the generator, enabling quick setup of required waveforms (cited from product manual)
Analysis: Thanks to high resolution and low harmonic distortion, generated waveforms are pure, facilitating accurate analysis of circuit responses (inferred from conventional applications of product functions)
Output: Generated waveforms can be output to other devices via instrument interfaces, and further analysis can be performed with supporting software (inferred from conventional applications of product functions)
Technical Usage Boundaries
When generating ultra-high-frequency or extremely complex waveforms, limitations in sampling rate and memory capacity may cause reduced waveform accuracy or failure to generate. Mitigation solutions: Set waveform parameters reasonably to avoid exceeding instrument specifications; for complex waveforms, generate in segments and combine them later (inferred from common issues with similar instruments).
