Generating Complex Waveforms Using Siglent’s Combine Function on the X-Series Dual-Channel Generators
October 24, 2017
It is common in engineering to combine two signals into one, such as superimposing noise on a sinusoid to simulate a desired signal containing undesired noise, or testing the OIP3 (Output 3rd Order Intercept Point) of an amplifier by generating a two-tone signal. The Siglent X series dual-channel waveform generators (SDG1000X, SDG2000X) can accomplish this … Continued
How to install the USBTMC driver
October 24, 2017
SIGLENT Technologies uses a broad range of products that utilize the USBTMC unified protocol to communicate with the host computer and control. Users can use SIGLENT provided PC software to send commands to remotely control the instrument. In addition, you can use NI-MAX (National Instruments Measurement and Automation Explorer) for instrument control. Here is an … Continued
Generating Multi-Phase Waveforms
October 23, 2017
Applications for multi-phase waveforms are everywhere – in Power-related applications, I/Q modulation, Automobile applications, Components, etc. While Siglent’s SDG2000X, and SDG5000, (& SDG1000) arbitrary waveform function generators all have two independent outputs with adjustable phase offsets, some applications call for three or more different signals, each with a phase relationship that is locked-to but adjustable … Continued
Custom waveforms using EasyWave and CSV Templates
October 23, 2017
Arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) are programmable voltage sources. They can be extremely useful tools when your application requires the output of waveforms that contain complicated features or shapes. Many AWGs come pre-loaded with arbitrary waveforms like cardiac, voice, and a host of trigonometric functions. These “built-in” waveforms can be useful, but the real power of … Continued
Calibration Traceability
October 23, 2017
Excerpt from the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board: http://anab.org/news/newsletter/winter-2014/nist-traceability-statements NIST Traceability Statements Many calibration customers request on their accredited calibration certificates a statement that the measurement is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). They want assurance that the standards used for the calibration are ultimately traceable to the International System of Units … Continued
