ArbStudio waveform generators meet the needs of today’s
engineers and technicians with uncompromised performance, a
wide variety of signal types, modulation schemes and generation
modes all controlled through an intuitive, easy to use software
interface.
Unmatched Performance
ArbStudio combines 125 MHz
bandwidth with long 2 Mpts/Ch
memory, fast 1 GS/s sample rate
and high 16-bit resolution to provide
performance unmatched by other
generators. Other instruments
make trade-offs between these
specifications, only ArbStudio
provides leading specification in
every category. Along with this
unmatched performance is the variety
of models providing both 2 and 4
channel configurations as well as a
digital pattern generator of up to 36
channels.
Flexibility
With both Arbitrary and Direct
Digital Synthesis (DDS) ArbStudio
offers extremely flexible generation
capabilities. Math and noise functions
are built-in and can be combined with
waveforms. Up to 8 total 4 channel
models can be synchronized with
the AS-SYNC cable.
Pulse-Width Modulation
Creating PWM signals has never
been easier thanks to a dedicated
control panel designed just for
PWM waveforms. Easily set
modulation shape, duty cycle and
all other aspects of the PWM plus
configure different settings for
each channel.

Modulation
Built-in modulation capabilities include
AM, PM, FM, ASK, PSK and FSK.
The modulation editor provides
easy-to-use tools to configure the
modulation scheme for any application.
Intuitive User Interface
The ArbStudio software provides an intuitive interface for creating, editing and sequencing waveforms. All channels,
settings and controls can be accessed from the main screen and waveforms can be previewed in the graph display.
Function Generator
All basic Sine, Square and Triangle
waveforms can be created from
a simple screen with controls
that replicate a traditional bench
top generator.
Digital Pattern Generator
Many systems have a variety of
analog and digital signals yet most
waveform generators provide only
analog outputs. The ArbStudio
1102D and 1104D models provide
analog and digital pattern generation
with 18 or 36 channels respectively.
