DescriptionPickering 41-620 Series Function GeneratorsThe 41-620 is a compact 3 channel function generator provided in a PXI 3U single slot module. It is capable of generating sine waves to 10MHz with 48-bit frequency resolution referenced to the 10MHz PXI clock or to an external standard. The 41-620 can generate arbitrary waveforms loaded into the internal 256k memory, allowing the function generator to emulate many waveform types, including the typical waveforms of automotive and aerospace sensors.The function generator provides a very simple method of providing variable output frequencies through the use of Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), making it far easier to use than an ARB for repetitive waveform generation.The 41-620 is capable of generating fast swept frequency signals, permitting the output to emulate the operation of variable speed devices. Sweeps can be single shot events or continuous up and down ramps. The DDS technology ensures the 41-620 settling time is extremely fast, being limited only by the update time over the PXI bus.Each channel of the 41-620 can be amplitude modulated from a single AM input connector to allow independent time varying output levels to be reproduced. One channel of the module can be externally connected to provide the time varying level control independently of the waveform being generated.The waveforms of the function generators are each stored in independent 256k memory blocks, permitting each channel to provide a different waveform shape. Waveforms are easily created externally, using Excel or similar tools, and loaded to the module memory via the backplane.The 41-620 supports the PXI Trigger functions to allow triggered events from other instruments to initiate waveform generation or sweepsThe supplied soft front panel demonstrates the ability of the 41-620 to quickly generate common waveforms and the ability to import external waveforms. The soft front panel also supports swept modes of operation.The 41-650 high voltage amplifier is perfect partner to the 41-620, allowing the signal levels of the 41-620 to be boosted to 60Vpp.
