Saelig Introduces Low Cost 10MHz DDS Function Generator With Quasi-Analog Control

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Aug. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the TG1006 - a DDS-based 1mHz to 10MHz Function Generator that, unlike other digital generators, can be operated over any frequency range using analog control in addition to numeric or spin-wheel frequency entry. The quasi-analog frequency control can rapidly sweep the frequency between preset limits, which is difficult to do with most digital function generators. This is particularly useful for setting up filters or for quickly checking frequency responses.

The TG1006 Function Generator can produce waveforms between 0.001Hz and 10MHz with a resolution of six digits, and with a one-year stability of better than 10ppm. Up to ten frequencies can also be stored in memory for preset test procedures.  The output amplitude is variable between 5mV and 20V pk-pk from a source impedance of 50 ohms or 600 ohms.

The LCD display shows frequency and amplitude or offset simultaneously.  For accurate frequency selection, precise frequencies can be entered directly from the numeric keypad in Hz, kHz or MHz.  Alternatively, any digit can be incremented or decremented using the spin wheel for fine adjustment.

A 120MHz frequency counter is also built in, with an input sensitivity of better than 50mV rms. In external counter mode, the display provides seven-digit resolution with a count range from 3Hz up to 120MHz.

Modulation modes are also included in the TG1006 Function Generator, including wide range phase-continuous sweep, internal or external AM, FSK and frequency list stepping. The generator is housed in a 2U case with built-in tilt stand, and a rack mounting kit is also available.

Made by Aim-TTi, a leading European test equipment manufacturer, the TG1006 Function Generator is available now from Saelig Co. Inc. Fairport, NY.  For detailed specifications, free technical assistance, or additional information, please contact Saelig 1-888-7SAELIG.
