The DynamicSignals V285 Series 500 kHz DAC/Waveform Generators are single-width, C-size, register-based, VXIbus module that is a 16-bit, precision, arbitrary waveform generator. It includes a DAC per channel and is capable of update rates to 500 kHz per channel. Each analog channel includes a 4-pole, Bessel filter with programmable cutoff frequencies of 10
kHz and 100 kHz. A 16-bit ADC/multiplexer allows all channels to be automatically tested and calibrated.
The V285 Waveform Generator optionally includes either a 1 Mbyte or 4 Mbyte RAM memory. This memory may be configured either for multibuffer operation, in which data is continuously updated via the VXIbus, or it may be preloaded with waveforms. These waveforms may be continuously output (in recirculate mode) or output once per trigger (in one-shot mode).
The waveform generator can also be loaded one sample at a time via a set of addressable VXIbus registers (one per DAC channel). The register contents are clocked into the DAC synchronously with the sample clock.
Alternatively, the waveform generator can accept the waveform data over Digi-bus. Digi-bus data is selected from a "data frame" and stored in a set of holding registers, one for each DAC channel. At the next sample clock or start of Digi-bus frame, the data is strobed from the registers into the respective DACs. This allows the V285 data to be accepted directly from a DSP module such as the V165.
The waveform generator employs a sample clock to simultaneously update all channels. This clock can be selected to be an internal, crystal-controlled clock; a VXI trigger line; a Digi-bus start-of-frame; or an external, front-panel, user-supplied clock.
The V285 supports both static and dynamic configuration. It may be accessed using A32/A16, D32/D16 data transfers.
The V285-ZD21 DynamicSignals 500 kHz DAC/Waveform Generator may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
