System stability

Create phase-coherent, multiemitter simulations using the

M9331A’s precision SYNC clock. A single M9331A can drive

a total of eight AWG modules to synchronize their outputs on

a sample-by-samplebasis. Any number modules can be syn-

chronized with simple driver hardware. The AWG also includes

multiple front-panel trigger and markers for complete system

synchronization.

Ease-of-use

The M9331A’s graphical user interface guides developers through

module setup and waveform file transfers. Users can quickly

configure the instrument’s signal conditioning paths, marker and

trigger lines, sample and reference clock sources and simple

sequencing functions. More sophisticated sequencing functions

are available through the instrument’s numerous programmatic

interfaces. The M9331A supports interfaces for MATLAB

LabView, IVI-C, IVI-COM, and VEE framework.
