AWG16: 16 bit 400 MHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator

The AWG16 module is a 16-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator for high speed / medium resolution waveform generation. The module has 8 output ranges to accommodate different DUT input ranges. Signal output can be configured either Differential or Single Ended. 50 Ohm Output impedance can also be chosen. There are three low pass filters to provide excellent dynamic performance. A bypass of the filters is also possible.
