PCI-based Arbitrary Waveform Generator Offers Versatility in One Instrument



Irvine, CA (September 13, 2002) - Geotest-Marvin Test Systems, Inc., a global supplier of electronic test equipment for aerospace, semiconductors, telecom, medical, industrial and military applications today announced the release of the new PCI-based Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

The GC1300 provides a combination of a function generator, arbitrary waveform synthesizer and programmable sequencer in just one instrument. It is a sensible alternative to a GPIB-based waveform generator when developing a PCI-based test system.

With a high sample rate of 125MS/s, the GC1300 makes an ideal modulation source for troubleshooting new encoding schemes. It also provides high-speed waveforms to stimulate signal distortion, power line cycle dropouts, video signals, components failures and power supply transients. The GC1300 also has the following features:
o 10 digits sample clock frequency setting, limited 1 uS/s
o 1ppm clock accuracy and stability
o multiple instrument synchronization
o 14-bit vertical resolution
o 2 Meg memory depth
o Sequences of up to 4096 waveforms
o Ultra fast waveform downloads using DMA
o Frequency agility: FSK, Ramped FSK, Sweep, FM, Arbitrary FM

Included with the GC1300 is the ArbConnection software that is used to control instrument functions, modes and features such as generating, editing and downloading waveforms from a remote computer. The GC1300 also has outstanding low phase noise
characteristics and carrier stability, especially needed for telecommunication and channel separation applications.

Availability. Product shipment for the GC1300 is available now. Starting price for the product is $3995.00
