Model PFG8 – 8-channel programmable arbitrary function generator
Part Number  BE350
 
Definition
    The ModelPFG8 is a DIN-rail mounted instrument for generating arbitrary waveforms.  It has eight independent channels, which may be synchronized.  In addition to predefined waveforms such as sinusoids, more sophisticated waveforms, such as audio or simulation results, are easily downloaded, stored, and replayed.  The PFG8 is a high-precision digital instrument and it uses sophisticated digital signal processing algorithms.  Lower quality devices typically do not perform these algorithms well, if they attempt them at all. 
For a portable, one channel AFG see our PFG.
 
Features
   
 1    High power drive capability.
    3
