Key features
- Patented InstaView™ technology enables engineers to see the actual waveform at the Device Under Test (DUT) in real time, without the need of an oscilloscope and probe, eliminating the uncertainty caused by mismatched impedance
- Sequencing option adds the ability to program long, complex waveforms with up to 256Â steps
- The 9-inch capacitive touch screen works like a smart phone and has short-cuts to frequently used settings
- Built-in ArbBuilder lets you create and edit arbitrary waveforms on the instrument, eliminating the need to connect to a PC
- Outputs are protected from over voltage and current to minimize potential instrument damage
- Built-in Double Pulse Test application to generate voltage pulses with varying pulse widths onto the DUTs
