Top-selling generators extend to two channels
Aim-TTi is launching two-channel versions of the TG2511 and TG5011 function/arbitrary/pulse generators. The new TG2512A and TG5012A have a maximum frequency of 25MHz and 50MHz, respectively, and represent excellent value for money when compared with purchasing two generators.
Unlike some other two-channel generators, both channels provide the full performance and specification, along with entirely independent operation when required. The graphic LCD can be switched between the two outputs or can be set to show the parameters or waveforms for both channels simultaneously.
The two channels can be operated completely independently as if they were two separate generators. Alternatively the frequencies of the two channels can be coupled such that if frequency of one channel is changed the frequency of the other channel also changes either by a fixed ratio or fixed offset.
Amplitudes (and DC offsets) of the two channels can be coupled such that changing the amplitude and offset on one channel changes the amplitude and offset of both channels. Outputs of the two channels can be coupled such that switching the output on/off on one channel switches the output on/off of both channels.
When in tracking mode both channels behave as one channel. If inverse tracking is selected, both channel still behave as one channel except that the output of channel 2 is inverted. The relative phase can be set from -360 degrees to +360 degrees with 0.1 degree resolution. Pressing the "align' key phase synchronises the two channels with the specified phase offset. Either channel can be triggered by the other channel to set up a complex and versatile inter channel trigger scheme.
