Controlling the Generators
Generators Overview
The ATS-1 Dual Domain contains both a digital generator and an
analog generator. Both generators operate simultaneously, but they
are controlled independently.
The analog generator can generate sine waves from 10 Hz to 120
kHz, with amplitudes from zero up to around 26 Vrms Balanced or 13
Vrms Unbalanced. It can also generate square waves from 20 Hz to
30 kHz with amplitudes from zero to around 34.4 Vpp Balanced or
17.2 Vpp Unbalanced. With the optional intermodulation generation
and analysis hardware, it can generate dual-tone intermodulation
distortion signals.
It can operate in any of four different output balance and impedance
combinations: 50 Ω unbalanced, 50 Ω balanced, 150 Ω balanced,
and 600 Ω balanced.
The digital generator can generate digital sine waves from 10 Hz to
47% of the sample rate. The sample rate can range from 28.8 kHz to
52.8 kHz. The digital signal can be output in AES/EBU balanced or
unbalanced format, SPDIF-EIAJ unbalanced format, and optical
format. Rectangular, triangular or shaped dither can be used.
The digital signal may be generated at any even-numbered word width
from 16 to 24 bits. The signal may also have sinusoidal jitter added, at
frequencies of 40 Hz to 38.8 kHz and amplitudes from zero to
12.75 UI peak.
