1 Introduction – general principles of operation
PsimetriQ is a self-contained test instrument, with one
output and two inputs, which incorporates a suite of test
functions.
PsimetriQ has a versatile generator output that can be
used as signal generator for the following waveforms:
sine,
triangle
square
sawtooth
A dc offset may be added to the signal generator output.
PsimetriQ has two differential, wide range, high
bandwidth, voltage inputs.
The PsimetriQ has two processors:
a DSP (digital signal processor) for data analysis
a CPU (central processing unit) for control and display
At the heart of the system is an FPGA (field programmable
gate array) that interfaces the various elements.
