02 | Keysight | M3202A PXIe Arbitrary Waveform Generator with Optional Real-Time Sequencing and FPGA Programming - Data Sheet
Generate High-Precision, Complex, Real-World Signals
The M3202A high-performance, high-bandwidth arbitrary waveform generator combines
an advanced waveform generation system with embedded function generators and
modulators (frequency/phase/amplitude) for broadband and IF signal generation.
Performance meets simplicity thanks to easy-to-use programming libraries, real-time
sequencing technology (Hard Virtual Instrumentation or HVI technology), and graphical
FPGA programming technology.
