Interpolated DDS Technique in SDG2000X
October 24, 2017
Preface As can be seen in the data sheet for Siglent’s SDG2000X arbitrary waveform generator series, the sampling rate specification (1.2 GSa/s) is followed by a note of “4X Interpolation”. This may be confusing to some customers, even some experienced users of function generators. This white paper is intended to explain this specification and to … Continued
Open Socket LAN connection using Python
October 20, 2017
Automating a test can dramatically increase the productivity, throughput, and accuracy of a process. Automating a setup involves connecting a computer to the test instrumentation using a standard communications bus like USB or LAN and then utilizing code entered via a software layer (like LabVIEW, .NET, Python, etc..) to sequence the specific instrument commands and … Continued

Resolver Simulation using an Arbitrary Waveform Generator
October 20, 2017
A resolver is an electromagnetic sensor that is used to determine the mechanical angle and velocity of a shaft or axle. They are often used in automotive applications (cam/crankshaft position), aeronautics (flap position), as well as servos and industrial applications. When designing, testing, or troubleshooting systems that use resolvers, it can be worthwhile to build … Continued
Testing Open Socket Communications Using PuTTY
October 19, 2017
Many instruments include the ability to be controlled via a remote connection to a computer using an Ethernet connection. In many cases, these instruments require a special software library that can help establish and maintain the communications link between the instrument and controlling computer. This can be annoying for a few reasons… the software library … Continued
