Keysight EDU33211A – Smart Bench Essentials Waveform/Function Generator (20 MHz / 1 Channel)

• 20 MHz bandwidth / 1 channel
• Part of the Keysight Smart Bench Essentials (SBE) series
• Keysight PathWave BenchVue software to enable remote instrument control
• USB and LAN input/output interfaces for remote connectivity
• 20 MHz sine and square waveforms

The Keysight EDU33210 Series function / arbitrary waveform generators offer the standard signals and features you expect – such as modulation, sweep, and burst. It also provides features that give you the capabilities and flexibility you need to get your job done quickly, no matter how complex. An intuitive, information-packed front-panel interface enables you to easily recall where you left off when your attention is focused elsewhere.

Simple setup and operation

The 7-inch wide video graphics array (WVGA) color display gives you both the waveform setting and other parameters in one view. The EDU33212A 20 MHz dual-channel function / arbitrary waveform generator can simultaneously display both channels’ waveform information. Color-coded keypads along with display and output connectors help you prevent setup and connection errors.

The EDU33210 ship’s standard with USB and LAN connectivity, making it easy for remote access and control. It supports operation using standard commands for programmable instruments (SCPI) language, interchangeable virtual instruments (IVI) driver, web browser, or Keysight’s Pathwave BenchVue software.

This series features a built-in USB memory port enabling you to store setup parameters with a USB flash drive. This feature maximizes efficiency when you need to restore the same setup to all the function / arbitrary waveform generators in your lab. It also enables you to load the arbitrary waveform signal to the function generator quickly.

Modulation and built-in waveforms

The EDU33210 has 17 built-in arbitrary waveforms. It comes with common waveforms – sine, square, ramp, triangle, pulse, PRBS, DC, and Gaussian noise; see Figures 1 and 2. It has specialty waveforms such as cardiac, exponential fall, exponential rise, Gaussian pulse, haversine, Lorentz, D-Lorentz, negative ramp, and sinc. The six built-in modulations are AM, FM, phase modulation (PM), frequency-shift keying (FSK), binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), and pulse width modulation (PWM).

Signal Integrity: Outputting the Signals You Expect

If your generator is introducing spurious signals or harmonics, you will have a challenging time producing reliable designs. To be successful, you need to test with clean, precise, low-noise signals.

The EDU33210 Series has the highest signal fidelity, so you can generate the exact waveforms you need for your most challenging measurements. You can be confident you are seeing your design’s characteristics and not your waveform generator’s measurements.

Arbitrary Waveform with Deep Memory

Are you looking to test your design with long, complex waveforms with a variety of anomalies? The EDU33210 Series comes standard with up to 8M samples per channel deep memory at a maximum of 1M sample per waveform, providing sufficient memory to overcome your test challenges.
