Trigger/Burst & Gated; Waveform Hop & Noise; Multiple Phase-Locked Generators; Easy And Convenient To Use - Metrix GX1010 Notice De Fonctionnement

2.6. Trigger/Burst & Gated
All waveforms are available as a triggered burst whereby each positive edge of the Trigger
signal will produce one burst of the carrier, starting and stopping at the phase angle
specified by the start-stop phase setting.
The number of cycles in the burst can be set between 0.5 and 1023. The Gated mode
turns the output signal On when the gating signal is high and Off when it is low.
Both Triggered and Gated modes can be operated from the internal Trigger Generator
(0.005Hz to 50kHz) or from an external source (dc to 1MHz).
2.7. Waveform Hop & Noise
The generator can be set up to 'hop' between a number of different waveform set-ups
either at a pre-determined rate or in response to a manual trigger.
Up to 16 different hop waveforms can be defined in terms of frequency, amplitude,
function, offset and duration, which is variable in 1ms steps up to 60s. The generator can
also be set to simulate random noise within the bandwidth ·03Hz to 700kHz with adjustable
amplitude and offset.
2.8.

Multiple phase-locked generators

The signals from the Clock In/Out socket and the Sync Out socket can be used to phase
lock two or more generators.
This can be used to generate multi-phase waveforms or locked waveforms of different
frequencies.
2.9.

Easy and convenient to use

All of the main generator parameters are clearly displayed together on a backlit LCD with 4
rows of 20 characters. Sub menus are used for the modulation modes and other complex
functions.
All parameters can be entered directly from the numeric keypad. Alternatively most
parameters can be incremented or decremented using the rotary encoder.
This system combines quick and easy numeric data entry with quasi-analogue adjustment
when required.

2.10. Addressable RS-232 standard, GPIB

The generator has an RS-232 interface as standard which can be used for remote control
of all of the instrument functions or for the down-loading of arbitrary waveforms.
As well as operating as a conventional RS-232 interface, it can also be used in addressable
mode whereby up to 32 instruments can be linked to one PC serial port.
A GIPB interface conforming to IEEE-488.2 is available.
