Description
Real signals are rarely clean sine waves. A sensor glitch, a distorted burst or a captured pulse train often needs replaying on the bench. The Keysight 33521B arbitrary waveform generator does that from one 30 MHz channel. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so a lab can choose the route that suits the budget.
Memory and sequencing
Waveform memory starts at 1 MSa, and a 16 MSa option handles longer records. Then you can edit shapes on the front panel, import files and build sequences. Because Trueform builds each point, jitter and distortion stay low during playback. So a captured glitch comes back just as the capture shows it.
Specifications of the Keysight 33521B arbitrary waveform generator
- One channel with 30 MHz bandwidth.
- Maximum sample rate of 250 MSa/s.
- Vertical resolution of 16 bits.
- Waveform memory of 1 MSa, with 16 MSa optional.
- USB, LAN and GPIB interfaces.
Bench work and automated test
Engineers use the Keysight 33521B arbitrary waveform generator to stimulate sensors, filters and amplifiers. It also checks pulse, modulation and arbitrary-waveform behavior in embedded and automotive designs. In addition, remote control lets a production troubleshooting station or an automated rack call the same waveforms. Education labs value it because students can see the effect of every setting.
One channel only
Plan for this limit early, because it affects the whole test. Keysight states that a one-channel 33521B cannot be upgraded to two channels. If a test needs synchronized outputs, therefore, ask Lost in HCM about a two-channel model from the start.
Buy now or rent first
A short R&D peak, a line bring-up or a trial before purchase suits a rental. However, a lab that replays the same captured waveforms every week usually does better with a purchase. Lost in HCM can quote either route for the Keysight 33521B arbitrary waveform generator.

Keysight 33521B questions
Can I add a second channel later?
No. Keysight states that a one-channel 33521B cannot be upgraded to two channels, so choose a two-channel model for synchronized outputs.
How much waveform memory does it have?
1 MSa as standard. A 16 MSa option suits longer records.
Which interfaces does it offer?
USB, LAN and GPIB, so it works on a bench or inside an older automated rack.
