Product Overview
Product Description
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is a waveform generator that can
generate simple and arbitrary waveforms, one-channel differential output
arbitrary waveforms, and function generator waveforms.
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator allows you to create sine, triangle,
square, ramp, and complex waves, as well as direct current and noise signals.
You can also set waveform attributes such as frequency, amplitude, and offset.
This instrument contains a hard disk drive, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and
Ethernet interface for storing and recalling waveform data and instrument
settings.
You can control the instrument remotely by sending commands through both the
GPIB and 100/10BASE-T interfaces, as well as transfer waveform data directly
from a digital storage oscilloscope to the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator using the GPIB interface. This enables you to use the instrument in
combination with other measurement equipment and a computer.
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator contains the following main
features:
H 4.0 GS/s sampling rate
H 8-bit DA converter
H 16 M-word waveform memory (32 M optional)
H Two arbitrary marker outputs
H Five waveform editors (see Table 1–1)

Editor Description
Waveform Creates analog waveform data in graphic or tabular form.
Pattern Creates analog waveform data in timing and table form.
Sequence Creates sequences of waveforms by combining the waveform files
created with the Waveform and/or Pattern Editors.
