Keysight 33500B Series waveform generators incorporate Trueform signal-generation technology, which combines the best of direct digital synthesis (DDS) and point-by-point architectures. It delivers increased performance at a price associated with DDS only. The 33500B models offer lower jitter and lower harmonic distortion than alternative instruments in the same class.

The jitter performance gives users the ability to place edges more accurately, helping reduce timing errors in circuit designs. Total harmonic distortion is less than 0.04% and non-harmonic spurs are less than 75dBc. This means clean signals that do not introduce noise, giving users greater accuracy. The jitter rate, together with 8.4ns rise and fall times, enables users to set trigger points more accurately. The 16 bit resolution of the 33500B models facilitates output changes down to 1uV, providing users with the ability to test low-voltage circuits and designs.

Generate the signals you need for testing and designing circuitry with this waveform generator from Keysight Technologies. This product uses Trueform signal generation technology, which combines DDS with point-by-point architectures for high-quality performance. Its 100% point coverage ensures a high degree of precision, so you can easily replicate the waveforms you need. This waveform generator includes built-in LAN, USB and GPIB interfaces for ease of connection to a computer.

• Broad operating temperature range of 0°C to +55°C for use in demanding environments
• Total harmonic distortion of 0.04% limits noise for more accurate testing
• Anti-alias filtering ensures that short-duration anomalies are captured for close monitoring

• Electronics testing
• Laboratory facilities
• Research and development

You can use an oscilloscope, the included Waveform Builder Basic software or another program such as Excel or MATLAB to easily capture a waveform and download it to the device. You can also edit a waveform once it's been downloaded, making this generator a flexible choice.
