The AT-AWG500 digital engine has a powerful parallel architecture which can perform at runtime complex signal processing and waveform sequencing at high speed rates and resolution. The digital engine is well supported by a powerful analog front-end which provides three outputs with different performances and analog signal conditioning options.
AT-AWG500 is the ideal choice to generate high quality waveforms from the simplest to the most complex in the easiest way ever.
The AT-AWG500 parallel digital engine can run in Arbitrary,DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) and True Arb(with external clock) Mode at 500Mhz update rate and 16Bit resolution.
AT-AWG500 has the AT-XSS (Extended Synchronous System) expansion system that provides the extendibility at up to 8 synchronous output without loss of performance: 8 channels @ 500Ms/s.
Two software provide a user-friendly graphic interface to control all the AT-AWG500 functionalities. The Basic software is a ready-to-go environment to start immediately and easily with the AT-AWG500 generating the most common waveforms.
The Full software, instead, provides full support for all AT-AWG500 features in a workspace based environment with multiple display windows and advanced editing tools.
