Recently, I wrote automated test software for a multichannel data-acquisition system that I had designed, where sampled waveform accuracy and repeatability were very important. The input waveforms ...

An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a powerful and flexible signal source capable of generating any wave shape within the bandwidth and amplitude range of the generator. Populating an AWG with ...

Let’s take a look at slew rate, a concept similar to rise time but with some important differences. As shown in Figure 1, the rise time of a step response is defined as the time it takes for the ...
