Triggering and synchronization
The 3020 Series provides flexible, configurable triggering facilities from inputs on the front
panel or the PXI backplane. Triggers can be used for addressed selection or stepped
incrementing of list mode. Triggers can generate power bursts and can be programmed into
ARB waveforms to provide trigger outputs for other instruments.
A configurable routing matrix provides flexibility as to how you interconnect signals on the
PXI backplane, the LVDS and TTL front-panel inputs, and the module’s internal functions.
Predefined routing scenarios can be loaded, or new scenarios created to meet particular
requirements.
List mode
List mode enables very fast settling times for new signal configurations. In list mode, up to
128 internal hardware settings are pre-calculated and stored, providing fast switching of
frequency and level whilst maintaining RF output accuracy. List addresses are sourced
externally or from an internal counter driven by the test application controlling the
3020 Series module.
Software
A 3020 Series module is supplied with a VXI PNP driver and soft front panel for use as a
standalone module. It is also supplied with an instrument-level signal generator soft front
panel, a dll and a COM object, for use with a 3010 Series RF synthesizer.
®
allows you to design your own, or system-specific, complex modulation files for
use with a 3020 Series module’s internal ARB.
PXI Studio 2, also supplied with the module, configures your PXI modules as logical
instruments using an intuitive and powerful graphical interface. PXI Studio 2 provides
comprehensive signal generator, digitizer and spectrum analyzer applications, and optional
analysis plug-ins to suit specific communications systems.
