Spectrum Instrumentation hybridNETBOX multichannel AWG and digitiser

Spectrum Instrumentation’s hybridNETBOX is an instrumentation platform for applications that require simultaneous signal generation and acquisition. Six models are available offering the choice of two, four or eight pairs of matched AWG and digitiser channels, with output and sampling rates of 40, 80 and 125 MS/s.

With the ability to create and acquire electronic signals at the same time, the product is suitable for measurement systems that need to perform automated closed-loop or stimulus-response type testing. For example, it can reproduce and capture ‘echo’ signals such as those found in radar, sonar, lidar or ultrasound. With its multichannel capability, the device can test these systems even when arrays of transmitters and receivers are used.

The product is also suited to ATE applications where components and subassemblies need to be tested in a fast and automated way. It can quickly ascertain the functionality and tolerance of DUTs and UUTs (devices or units under test) by exercising them with numerous, easily adjusted, complex signals. This powerful testing process can be deployed in a host of applications like bus testing, MIMO communications, circuit verification, mechatronics and robotics.

The series was created for engineers and scientists that require precise, simultaneous waveform generation and signal acquisition in manual, automated or remotely controlled applications. The portable LXI instrument features hardware and software capabilities that allow all users to match their specific testing requirements as well as speed up their testing processes.
