General Description
The HP E1440A Synthesized FunctionJSweep Generator is a
multi-task signal generator, built as a C-size (double slot) plug-in
module, for use with other similar modules in a VXI mainframe. It
can be used as:
a reference source
Produces a sine wave of a specified frequency, amplitude, DC offset
and phase.
a function generator
Produces various waveforms at a specified frequency, amplitude,
DC offset and phase.
a sweep generator
Produces logarithmic and linear frequency sweeps.
