HDAWG 任意波形発生器

Yes, a 4-channel configuration and an 8-channel one (HDAWG4 and HDAWG8) are available. The HDAWG4 cannot be upgraded to the HDAWG8, and the upgrade options for the two models are not compatible, i.e., it is not possible to install the HDAWG4-PC Real-time Precompensation option on the HDAWG8 and vice versa.

Yes, this instrument is operated from a computer connected via USB 3.0 or 1GbE. The computer uploads waveform and sequence data to the AWG. Once the AWG is started, it generates its signal autonomously and does not strictly depend on the computer anymore.

The LabOne software is freely available in our Download center, with updates appearing on a regular basis. LabOne also provides a single-click function to update the instrument firmware.

The HDAWG has 2 markers per channel (8/16 in total). One of the 2 markers per channel is on the front panel (SMA), and one is on the back panel (32-bit DIO). Using any of the markers does not reduce the 16-bit resolution of the output.

The HDAWG offers triggering possibilities that go beyond the simple triggered mode of other AWGs, and in addition provides pulse counting functionality related to the HDAWG-CNT Pulse Counter option. The HDAWG offers a mode in which pairs of channels (1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8) can be programmed and run as completely independent AWG units. In particular, they can be triggered separately. In addition, a single sequence program can listen to several trigger inputs, e.g. as a line and frame trigger input, and can use the state of a trigger as an input for sequence branching.

Yes, multi-device synchronization (MDS) automatically aligns the signal timing of up to 8 HDAWGs. In addition, it allows you to use a single interface and sequence program to control all channels of the HDAWG stack. The synchronization relies on bidirectional exchange of trigger signals over the MDS connectors on the back panel of the instrument.

All users receive support from Zurich Instruments independently of where the purchase took place. Local sales partners, where available, also provide first-level support in the local language. For extended support, instrument calibration or service, please check the Support page.

The LabOne AWG Sequencer uses a high-level language derived from C - sometimes referred to as seqC - that is natural to read and write. You will thus maintain a much better understanding of what is happening compared to the traditional approach of piling up the sequence as a table of machine instructions. The LabOne sequencer language comes with an integrated waveform generation tool. You can simply define the waveforms in the sequence editor where you need them, instead of splitting this task out into a separate waveform generation tool or even third-party software. Features such as code completion and debugging messages ensure fast and efficient learning for new users.

Time-consuming waveform uploads are significantly faster, and the entire sequence definition and variation is much simpler when using signals with a sinusoidal carrier. This is because amplitude modulation makes the carrier independent from the programmed waveform. The carrier parameters (frequency, phase, amplitude, offset) are then adjustable with few mouse clicks.

They increase the flexibility in pattern generation. User registers facilitate variable delays, serve as an index to select a certain waveform, or alter output values on the DIO interface. You can change them manually from the user interface, or perform an automated sweep.

Yes. To include a sequence branch, use an "if" statement in the LabOne sequence program.

Common waveforms (Blackman, Gauss, chirp, sine, square, sinc, DRAG, and more) are available as sequencer commands. You can also add, multiply, cut, concatenate, and scale waveforms, and use loop iterations to generate systematic series of waveforms. You can import your own waveform data too, e.g. by drag-and-drop of a CSV file in the user interface.

Each instrument is equipped with a country-specific power cable, a USB 3.0 cable, a 1GbE cable, and a printed copy of the quick start guide.

The HDAWG readily supports AM. The HDAWG-MF Multi-Frequency option enables quadrature modulation based on two quadrature channels added up internally. With this technique, it is possible to implement arbitrary modulation schemes that include FM, PM, and DSB.

If you rely on custom MATLAB^®, LabVIEW^®, Python, .NET, or C software, the integration is straightforward with the LabOne APIs. Additionally, LabOne helps you to find the right API command for a given instrument setting thanks to its command log feature.

The HDAWG provides standard trigger input and output functionalities to synchronize the signal generation of two or more instruments.

The shipping cost depends on the location and varies between 100 and 250 USD worldwide. For a detailed quotation please get in touch with us.

Yes, the scripts are fully compatible.

No, the HDAWG does not have analog signal inputs and is a pure signal generation instrument – with the exception of the pulse counting functionality that comes with the HDAWG-CNT option.

Waveform data in the CSV (comma-separated value) file format can be uploaded to the HDAWG through drag-and-drop into LabOne.

Conversion from Tektronix's SEQ sequence file format to Zurich Instruments' SeqC file format will be available with a future LabOne release.
