Spectrum Instrumentation , a global leader in high-performance test and measurement solutions, has introduced four new Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) in its popular DN2.63x NETBOX series . These cutting-edge instruments deliver blazing-fast output rates of up to 10 gigasamples per second (GS/s) and offer 16-bit vertical resolution , making them ideal for demanding applications requiring ultra-wide bandwidth signal generation from DC to 2.5 GHz .
Designed for seamless integration into both lab and automated environments, these AWGs connect via standard Ethernet/LXI , enabling straightforward control from any PC, laptop, or network . Their compact design and remote operation capabilities make them perfect for automated testing , stimulus-response analysis , and closed-loop system validation .
Key Features of the DN2.63x NETBOX Series
✅ High-Speed & High-Resolution Signal Generation
Each model offers:
- Output rates up to 10 GS/s
- Exceptional 16-bit DAC resolution
- Low noise and high signal purity
- Flexible single-ended or differential outputs
- ±500 mV into 50 Ω (single-ended)
- ±1 V into 100 Ω (differential)
- Up to ±2 V with high impedance termination
This level of precision ensures that engineers can generate complex signals with unmatched fidelity, ideal for RF, radar, communications, and advanced research applications.
✅ Ample Memory for Long Waveform Playback
Equipped with 4 GB (2 GSamples) of onboard memory — expandable to 16 GB (8 GSamples) — the AWGs support continuous waveform playback for up to 800 milliseconds at full speed (10 GS/s) . Users benefit from extended signal generation without interruptions, even during complex multi-segment waveforms.
Multiple operating modes are available:
- Single-shot
- Repeated
- Multiple replay
- FIFO streaming mode – allowing real-time waveform updates while playing back existing data
✅ Flexible Triggering & Control Options
Front-panel connectors support:
- External clock and trigger inputs
- Multi-purpose digital I/O lines for marker outputs or status flags
- Optional digital pulse generator module
These features enable deep integration into automated test systems , synchronized setups, and real-time adaptive signal generation scenarios.
User-Friendly Software & Integration
Every DN2.63x NETBOX unit comes bundled with SBench 6 Pro , Spectrum’s intuitive software suite for:
- Waveform creation and editing
- Real-time control and monitoring
