Description
Source jitter and harmonics often end up blamed on the device under test. The Keysight 33509B waveform generator uses Trueform technology to keep both low, so the signal you apply stays honest. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.
Numbers that describe the output
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Channels | 1 |
| Maximum frequency | 20 MHz |
| Maximum sample rate | 160 MSa/s |
| Vertical resolution | 16 bit |
| Amplitude range | 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp into 50 ohm |
| Interfaces | USB, LAN/LXI-C and GPIB |
Installed options can change what a unit does, so the formal quotation takes precedence.
Why Trueform matters on the bench
Older direct-digital-synthesis sources build a waveform from a coarse stream of points. Trueform uses a different architecture, and Keysight positions it for lower jitter and lower harmonic distortion than those conventional sources. As a result, a sine from the Keysight 33509B waveform generator looks cleaner on a scope. Square, ramp, pulse, noise, PRBS, sweep, burst and modulation modes are all available.
Typical jobs in Vietnam
- Sensor and analog front-end development
- Stimulus for power-electronics control loops
- Technician and student training
- Temporary automated test integration
- Cover while a permanent generator is in repair or calibration
Software and options
BenchVue software supports the generator, and the standard interfaces suit scripted validation. Arbitrary-waveform capability and memory expansion are optional, however. If you plan to replay custom shapes, name those options in your request. Also save each setup beside its results, so another engineer can repeat the run later.
Rent or buy the Keysight 33509B waveform generator
A project with a fixed end date favors a rental, because you skip the capital spend. A lab that needs the same stimulus every week may prefer to buy. In either case, request a quote from Lost in HCM. Include the options, accessories, certificate needs and delivery site. You can also see more signal generator listings, read the Keysight website or contact SMK Vietnam.
Before you choose
How do I pick between channel counts?
This model has one channel. If your test needs a second related signal, ask about a multi-channel generator.
Does amplitude depend on the load?
The listed 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp range applies into 50 ohm, so check your load before you set levels.
Can I automate it?
Yes. USB, LAN and GPIB ports connect it to a PC, and BenchVue supports it.
