Flexibility in Creating Waveforms
While Math Equation Entry enables the operator to easily
produce nearly any desired waveform, the following
methods of definition are provided to suit particular user
needs and preferences.
Computer Download
Previously calculated and uploaded waveforms may be
quickly downloaded through the high-speed GPIB inter-
face. Analogic’s DPCOM software enables off-line cre-
ation and storage of an unlimited number of waveforms
that can be downloaded as needed.
Model 6500 Capture
Quite often it is necessary to reproduce a real-world wave-
form or transient glitch. This is easily accomplished using
the Analogic Model 6500 Waveform Analyzer to capture
the signal and download it to the synthesizer, after which
signal parameters may be varied for marginal testing.
Point and Line Segment Entry
Output waveforms may be constructed point by point or,
where linear interpolation is adequate, by the specification
of the linear endpoints only.
Scope Draw
Any waveform in Output Memory can be displayed on an
oscilloscope and edited point by point. It is also useful for
adding special glitches or cleaning up a captured waveform.
Sophisticated Systems Capabilities
For automation in lab and production test environments,
RS-232 and IEEE-488 communications and versatile rear-
panel timing capabilities are provided. Units can be syn-
chronized with each other through their external clock and
trigger inputs and Sync and programmable Marker out-
puts. For example, the Model 2020 features phase-locked
loop clocking of a master and up to 8 slave units.
Analogic Polynomial Waveform Synthesizers can repro-
duce virtually any waveform equation, algorithm, or cap-
tured signal required for testing. For additional flexibility,
several synthesizers may run in unison, providing multiple
signals of a different nature for situations with complex
timing diagrams that require high speeds and/or high
fidelities. The parameters may be the same or totally dif-
ferent, allowing for independent parameter margining and
analysis. Adding the Model 6500 Waveform Analyzer to
the test system allows phase synchronous stimulus and
capture/analysis using external clocking from a common
source.
