Generating the signals you need for your
measurements can be a tedious and time-
consuming task, one that’s often complicated
by uncertainty whether your signal generator
is outputting the signals you expect. Agilent’s
33600A Series of waveform generators with
exclusive Trueform technology offer you the
capabilities, fidelity and flexibility you need
to easily and confidently generate signals for
even your most complex tests. Superior signal
integrity guarantees you the highest resolu-
tion and lowest distortion for playing arbitrary
waveforms with a complete representation of
signals and creating complex waveform se-
quences. The ability to choose from a range of
different upgradeable models means you have
the functionality you need to easily address
your test challenges today and in the future.
Shown at right are some of the key test
challenges for which the 33600A Series
Trueform waveform generators are especially
well suited.

How Trueform
can help
Generating a waveform with many points
EXAMPLES
• Long non-repeating signals
• Simple signals requiring a lot of time resolution
• Simulating a digital data protocol
• Simulating a digitally modulated carrier
• Deep waveform memory
• 1 GSa/s arb sampling rate
• Trueform waveform generator accuracy
• Ample onboard memory to store all of
your waveforms
Simulating signals with the highest integrity
EXAMPLES
• Reproduce an arb with designed glitches
• Run arbs at a fast frequency with the same signal
from cycle to cycle
• Simulate a complex signal
• Need the best signal quality possible
• Trueform waveform generators are the best
in the industry
• Jitter at < 1 ps
• Plays every point as designed without having to
force fit a number of samples
• Output voltage with load settings
• None of the weaknesses of DDS
(e.g., distorted signals and stretched points)
• 14-bit resolution
Effortlessly couple or synchronize two
signals on a waveform generator
EXAMPLES
• IQ modulation testing
• Provide a stimulus for device and trigger signals
• Simulate a differential pair
• Creating a frequency relationship
on two signals
• Dual channels
• Easy frequency coupling
• Easy amplitude coupling
• Match or mirror signals between two channels
Using a waveform generator to generate
a PRBS signal
EXAMPLES
• Test a transmission line
• Acoustic testing
• Noise simulation
• Generate an eye pattern stimulus
• Built-in PRBS functions
• PN3 through PN32
• Up to 100-Mbps bit rate
• Jitter at < 1 ps
• Synchronized output for external clocking
• Channel coupling
Creating a differential signal with
a waveform generator
EXAMPLES
• Simulate an IC output
• Simulate balance twisted pair outputs
• Simulate a biomedical signal
• Generate an LVDS stimulus signal
• Dual channels
• Frequency or amplitude coupling
• Identical or inverted signals between two
channels
• Floating outputs up to 42 V
• 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp outputs
Be more efficient designing and using your
arbitrary waveforms
EXAMPLES
• Change one segment of an arb without
redesigning the whole signal
• Reuse your proven signal designs but put them
together in a different order
• Have a signal continuously playing until an event
starts another signal
• Need to sweep your arb through a set of different
frequencies
• Need to sweep your arb through a set of
different frequencies
• Arbitrary waveform sequencing
• Arbitrary waveform triggering model
• 1 GSa/s
• Change amplitude, sample rate and ilter
settings with arb metadata
• Deep waveform memory
• Easy drag and drop ile system
