Generator boards gain free waveform
software
SPEasyGenerator provides a rapid way to generate standard signals from an on screen virtual panel, not unlike that found on the standard bench top waveform generator.
Since their introduction, the Spectrum series of signal generator boards have allowed programmers to freely generate their own arbitrary waveforms by transferring signal data to the boards memory, using either code, or by simply pointing to the data file using the included SBench signal display software However a number of users have requested an easy interface to provide a set of high-speed but standard waveforms too, such as the sine, square and triangle

Acquisition range takes on demanding applications
The Spectrum PCI ultra-high-speed board range is claimed to push forward the boundaries of PC-based data acquisition and waveform generation.
SPEasyGenerator provides a rapid way to generate standard signals from an on screen virtual panel, not unlike that found on the standard bench top waveform generator - and just as easy to control.
Using simple mouse-clicks on knobs, and buttons, the signal shape, frequency, offset, amplitude and filter settings are easily set.
This software is included free with all arbitrary waveform generators from the Spectrum 60xx and 61xx series, providing up to four output channels and update rates to 125Msample/s.
As well as being available to all new users of Spectrum hardware, existing users are welcome to download this interface at no cost from the DataQuest Solutions website.
