We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Arbitrary waveform generator", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release PC scopes are multifunction instruments from Pico Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Pico Technology reckons its latest PC oscilloscopes offer serious performance and excellent value for money". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release Generators cover all broadcast requirements from Rohde and Schwarz: "All conventional broadcasting standards are supported: analogue and digital, terrestrial, satellite, cable, mobile TV and digital sound broadcasting".
 
In January 2008, we covered the news from TiePie Engineering concerning its Multichannel measuring software - take a look at Multichannel software enables flexible measurement which says: "Software enables each instrument to be used as an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyser, a voltmeter, an arbitrary waveform generator or a transient recorder/datalogger".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Keithley Instruments, Forum membership helps shape WiMAX test kit, as well as Transmitter puts receivers on trial from Rohde and Schwarz, and Ultra-high-speed cards come in a choice of formats from Dataquest Solutions.
