INFINITE PLAYTIMEStreaming and memory ping pong While up to 2G Samples of waveform memory and a powerful sequencing engine provide sufficient playtime
Data sourcesWaveform data for streaming can be retrieved from a number of sources:• Harddisk – typically a fast RAID drive or Solid State Drive (SSD)
High numbered digital modulations transport more data in the same bandwidth, but tend to produce inaccurate levels and phase angles. Detailed testing
PRODUCT STRUCTURE The AWG has a modular product structure and requires an AXIe chassis (please see page 13)M8190A OptionSoftware upgradeable Comme
