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.
