Keysight EDU33212A Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator Overview

The Keysight EDU33210 Series of function/arbitrary waveform generators provide all the standard signals and features you expect, including modulation, sweep, and burst. It also offers additional capabilities and flexibility to help you complete complex tasks quickly. The intuitive, information-packed front-panel interface allows you to easily pick up where you left off.

The series EDU33212A model features a 7-inch WVGA color display that lets you view both waveform settings and other parameters simultaneously. This 20 MHz dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generator can display waveform information for both channels at the same time. Color-coded keypads and connectors help prevent setup and connection errors, making it ideal for a Smart Bench Essentials (SBE) bench setup.

With USB and LAN connectivity, the EDU33212A allows for straightforward remote access and control. It supports SCPI language, IVI driver, web browser, and Keysight's Pathwave BenchVue software for versatile operation.

A built-in USB memory port enables you to save setup parameters on a USB flash drive, enhancing efficiency by allowing quick restoration of the same setup across all generators in your lab and fast loading of arbitrary waveform signals.

The EDU33212A includes 17 built-in arbitrary waveforms, such as sine, square, ramp, triangle, pulse, PRBS, DC, and Gaussian noise. It also features specialty waveforms like cardiac, exponential fall, exponential rise, Gaussian pulse, haversine, Lorentz, D-Lorentz, negative ramp, and sinc. Additionally, it supports six built-in modulations: AM, FM, phase modulation (PM), frequency-shift keying (FSK), binary phase shift keying (BPSK), and pulse width modulation (PWM).

Features and Specifications
