Type of outputs
Output path
DC High BW (+) and (–) complementary (differential).
Includes a variable gain, high bandwidth, DC coupled amplifier in the signal path.
DC High Volt
(Option HV)
(+) and (–) complementary (differential).
An additional amplifier adds high amplitude with reduced bandwidth.
AC Direct Single ended output from the (+) connector.
A d irect connection to the DAC output including a balun to reduce common mode distortion.
The AC Direct path offers the lowest noise and distortion performance.
AC Amplified
(Option AC)
Single ended output from the (+) connector.
Includes an amplified path and a passive variable attenuator path to provide a large output
amplitude range.
ON/OFF control Independent control for each analog output channel.
Output impedance 50 Ω
