General Characteristics

Operating characteristics

Power requirements

90 to 254 V; 50, or 60 Hz; 300 W maximum,

 

 

power factor corrected. Not for 400 Hz use.1

Operating temperature range2 0 to 55 °C

 

 

Storage temperature range

–40 to 71 °C

 

 

 

 

 

Shock and vibration

Meets MIL-STD-28800E Type III, Class 3.

 

 

 

Leakage

Conducted and radiated interference meets

 

 

MIL-STD-461C CE02 Part 2 and CISPR 11. Leakage is

 

 

typically < 1 µV [nominally 0.1 µV with a 2-turn loop] at

 

 

1000 MHz, measured with a resonant dipole antenna,

 

 

one inch from any surface with output level < 0 dBm

 

 

[all inputs/outputs properly terminated].

 

 

 

Storage registers

Memory is shared by instrument states, user data files,

 

 

non-volatile waveforms, sweep list files and waveform

 

 

sequences. There is 14 MB of flash memory standard in

 

 

the ESG. With Option 005, there is 6 GB of storage.

 

 

Depending on available memory, a maximum of 1000

 

 

instrument states can be saved.

 

Weight

< 16 kg [35 lb.] net, < 23 kg [50 lb.] shipping

 

 

 

 

Dimensions

133 mm H x 426 mm W x 432 mm D

 

 

 

[5.25 in H x 16.8 in W x 17 in D]

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remote programming

 

 

 

 

Interface

GPIB [IEEE-488.2-1987] with listen and talk, RS-232,

 

 

LAN [10BaseT].

 

 

 

Control languages 3

SCPI version 1996.0, also compatible with 8656B and

 

 

8657A/B/C/D/J1 mnemonics.

 

 

Functions controlled

All front panel functions except power switch and knob.

 

 

 

ISO compliant

The E4438C ESG is manufactured in an ISO-9001

 

 

registered facility in concurrence with

 

 

 

Agilent Technologies commitment to quality.

1.For 400 Hz systems, order transformer 70001-60066.

2.Save and recall of user files and instrument states from non-volatile storage is guaranteed only over the range 0 to 40 °C.

3.ESG series does not implement 8657A/B “Standby” or “On” [R0 or R1, respectively] mnemonics.

4.Parentheses denote typical performance.
