PCI-303 10 MHz Function Generator

Download PDF

The PCI-303 10 MHz Function Generator is a PC-Based (ISA Expansion Card) Function Generator that uses analog techniques to create 10 MHz sine waves, triangle waves, square waves and DC levels. Each of the waveshapes has frequency, DC offset, and amplitude controls with three digits of settability. The output amplitude is adjustable from 24 Vpp to 100 mVpp (12 Vpp to 50 mVpp into a 50 Ohm load). The frequency for all waveshapes is adjustable from 10 Hz to 10 MHz, and the duty cycle is adjustable from 10% to 90%. For more information, download the .pdf of the complete, detailed data sheet and specifications.

Relays are not used to vary the amplitude of the output waveform on the PCI-303 thereby eliminating the glitches found on most competitive function generators. The PCI-303 Function Generator is also known by names such as Function Generator, Sine Wave Generator, Sinewave Generator, Communication Generator, Signal Generator, Pulse Generator, and Sweep Generator. These function generators are also known as Analog Output Boards. These waveform generators are useful for ATE, Automatic Test Equipment, Functional Test, In-Circuit Test, Telecom Test, Impedance Analysis, Impedance Analyzer, Frequency Response Analysis, and for a Frequency Response Analyzer.

Function Generators and Sine Wave Generators from PC Instruments include, at no additional charge, a complete set of software. For turn-key applications, the waveform generators from PC instruments include the BenchTop‰ Lite graphical user interface for Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows 3.X. Also included is a set of software tools (DLLs, programmers libraries, and example programs) for C++, Visual Basic, VB, ATEasy, HPVee, HP Vee, LabWindows, Lab Windows, LabWindows CVI, and Lab Windows CVI. These products are sometimes referred to as Instruments-on-a-Card, Instrument-on-a-Card, Instruments on a Card, Instrument on a Card, or Instrumentation.

The output amplifier features reverse voltage protection and the output can be summed with waveforms from any of PC Instruments’ other generators to create complex communications waveforms and noise patterns. Pictured on the left is the control panel for the PCI-303. The BenchTop™ Lite User Interface is included with every PCI-303 and provides easy, point-and-click control of the generator. And, the PCI-303 is easily controlled from many different software environments using the tools included in the BenchCom™ Software Bundle.

PCI-303 Control Panel provided with the BenchTop™ Lite User Interface. BenchTop Lite is included with every instrument from PC Instruments.
