Class-leading function/arbitrary generators for test and design engineers available now

RS Components has launched two new products from Aim-TTi. The TGF3000 series of function/arbitrary generators delivers class-leading performance and excellent value for money. The series is the most recent function/arbitrary waveform generator series and gives a frequency capability of up to 160MHz, coupled with two identical full-performance channels that can operate as separate generators or in coupled or tracking modes. The series also provides precise channel-to-channel phase control with a resolution of 0.001-degree. The series gives a wide range of built-in waveforms along with custom arbitrary waveforms. These can be used at sample speeds up to 800MS/s with replay rates up to 80MHz. The units are provided with PC-based arbitrary waveform generation and editing software. Other features include high resolution performance and the capability to generate low jitter pulses as well as wide-bandwidth white noise. Also, an extensive array of modulations is available with gated, burst and sweep modes that can use either internal or external trigger sources. On the launch of the new series, Mark Edwards, managing director at Aim-TTi, said: “Going back to 1978 when we first began working together with the launch of the PL series of digital power supplies, through the Thurlby Thandar merger in the late 1980s and beyond, our relationship with RS has always been a highly synergistic one. It has continued to evolve to deliver the benefits from our cooperation and the highest possible levels of service to engineers who are working in product design and development, and bench test environments.”
