What it is

The Keysight 33510 B is a waveform generator with a maximum output frequency of 20 MHz, two independent channels, a sampling rate of 160 MSa/s, and 16-bit vertical resolution.[1][2]

How it works

The Keysight 33500B Series employs Trueform technology, which uses an exclusive digital sampling technique to provide lower jitter (typical edge jitter less than 40 ps) and lower total harmonic distortion (typical THD less than 0.04 percent) compared to traditional DDS generators. The technology reproduces custom waveforms exactly point by point without skipping samples and provides built-in anti-aliasing.[3]

Applications

The Keysight 33510 B supports multiple waveform types including sine, square, ramp, pulse, triangle, Gaussian noise, pseudo-random binary sequence, DC, and arbitrary waveforms. The instrument can generate pulses up to 20 MHz with reduced jitter. Standard interfaces include USB, LAN (LXI-C), and GPIB for remote control and data transfer.[1][2]

Frequently asked questions

What are the main output specifications of the 33510 B?

The 33510 B is a 20 MHz, 2-channel waveform generator with a 160 MSa/s sampling rate, 16-bit resolution, and an amplitude range of 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp.[1][2]

What waveform memory options are available?

The 33510 B has a standard waveform memory of 1 MSa/channel, with an optional upgrade to 16 MSa/channel for longer waveforms.[1][2]

What remote interfaces does the 33510 B include?

The 33510 B includes USB, LAN (LXI-C), and GPIB as standard interfaces.[1][2]

Does the 33510 B support arbitrary waveform generation?

Yes. The 33510 B supports arbitrary waveforms with point-by-point capability and optional sequencing; a 1 MSa/channel standard memory and optional 16 MSa/channel memory are available.[1][2]

How does the 33510 B compare with traditional DDS-based generators?

The 33500B Series Trueform technology provides lower jitter, lower total harmonic distortion, and exact point-by-point replication of custom waveforms, while traditional DDS generators can skip waveform points and require external anti-alias filtering.[3]
