Pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)
pattern generation
Test your digital serial buses by streaming standard PRBS patterns—
PN3 through PN32—without the need for a separate pulse
generator. With fewer instruments, setting up your tests has never
been easier. You won’t find these built-in PRBS patterns in
competitive waveform generators.
Flexibility in creating and playing waveforms
There are five ways to create arbitrary waveforms for use
with the 33600A generator.
1. Use the included Waveform Builder Basic software to edit
and download a waveform file to the generator.
2. Use 33503A Waveform Builder Pro software to create
more complex waveforms and sequencing.
3. Capture a waveform from an oscilloscope and download
it to the generator.
4. Create a waveform in MATLAB, Excel, etc. and download
it to the generator.
5. Use the generator’s front panel to edit a waveform once
it is in the generator.
You have lots of flexibility to choose the way you want to work.

Easily generate
PRBS waveforms on
the 33600A Series
waveform generators.
You can select multiple sequence lengths
(such as PN15) and bit rates up to
200 Mbit/sec to create PRBS signals.
Smart phone and tablet access
to full documentation
Need a quick answer? Get instant access to instrument
documentation in seven different languages in
smart-phone-friendly WebHelp format. You can access
all user documentation in the palm of your hand—
no PC or hardcopy manuals required. Another feature
you won’t find in competitive function/arb generators.
