SYNTHESIZED SIGNAL GENERATOR
Its compact size, light weight, fast switching speed and USB,
GBIP and Ethernet control interfaces support the standard
SCPI command set ensuring smooth integration within all test
environments, particularly those associated with automated
test. An installation disk that accompanies each unit includes
all the drivers required to remotely control the device as well as
a user friendly GUI interface (right) compatible with a Windows
XP
®
, Windows 7
®
or Windows Vista
®
operating system. User
control is facilitated via pull down menus that allow program-
ming of single or swept modes in frequency or power. Integra-
tion of multiple units within a production test environment is
easy, and affordable.
