Digital Pattern Generator - Sampler
(Optional)
Overview
ArbStudio can be configured to work as a powerful Digital Pattern
Generator-Sampler.
In this working mode ArbStudio 1102/1104 provides the capability to
emulate standard serial or parallel bus transitions or custom digital
interfaces for system debugging and characterization.
The architecture is based on a vector/command memory and a powerful
sequencer defining the vector/command execution flow.
The Sequencer unit is a programmable finite state machine with a
microcode memory that, combined with the vector/command memory,
can generate very long digital patters and control signals at a very high
speed.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
ArbStudio 1104D has 36 digital channels available, 18 CHs on Pod A
and 18 CHs on Pod B.
ArbStudio 1102D has only 18 digital channels on Pod A.
As a Digital Pattern Generator-Sampler ArbStudio provides:
36/18 Channels @ 125 MHz with Per Bit Direction (up to 288 Digital
I/O with Expansion Bus)
2 Million Vectors in Generation
2 Million samples in Acquisition
Digital Waveform Sequencer
31 Levels Programmable Event Detector
2 Bank Programmable I/O Levels
Multi-device synchronization with Expansion Bus
Digital waveforms (vectors and commands) can be edited in a tabular
format or by means of a powerful and intuitive digital waveform editor that
provides tools for advanced pattern definitions: clock, count and random
patterns over a selection or the entire signal or bus.
