New-wave generators boast old-wave
prices
The Wonder Wave Series of arbitrary waveform generators breaks new ground in sample clock speeds, memory and instrument control.
The Wonder Wave Series expands Tabor's wide line of arbitrary waveform generators and breaks new ground in sample clock speeds, memory and instrument control This new line of generators leverages all the advances in component speed, D to A conversion and communication technology to offer waveform creation and output capabilities that overcome limitations in previous and current products from all vendors

Bridging the gap
Between low-end affordable arbitrary function generators and high-end expensive arbitrary waveform generators, Ron Glazer argues that Tabor's Wonder Wave Series offers the best of both worlds.
Power amp claims unmatched signal purity
The Model 9250 is the latest wideband power amplifier from Tabor Electronics.
High-voltage amp boasts top signal integrity
The Model 9400 is a four-channel wideband high-voltage amplifier in a small, space-and cost-saving package featuring outstanding bandwidth and signal integrity.
These digital instruments combine the capabilities and complexity of digital conversion and control with the signal integrity of synthesised analogue generators.
Sample rates from 50Msample/s to 1200Gsample/s mean wide frequency ranges from 25 to 400MHz, making these instruments ideal for many applications in electromechanical simulation, communications, and audio and video simulation.
High resolution of 12, 14 or even 16bit means the Wonder Wave generators are the instrument of choice for narrowband modulation and creation of complex waveforms with small details superimposed on large signals.
The generating performance is enhanced by the use of Ethernet and USB 2.0 control interfaces, as well as the traditional, but slow, IEEE488.
These interfaces allow very fast download of large waveforms.
However, the Wonder Wave Series carries on the Tabor tradition of flexible segmentation and sequencing, which allows the customer to maximise the memory in each instrument when building up long and complex signals.
An arbitrary waveform generator is only as useful as the software to program it, and ArbConnection, which is included with each generator, is enhanced to handle the increased sample rates, memory sizes and high-speed control provided by Wonder Wave.
"As all products become smaller and faster, the test equipment needs to keep pace", said Ron Glazer, Business Development Manager at Tabor.
"Wonder Wave will give engineers and production personnel the high-speed capabilities and ease of control features they need in value-priced instruments, continuing the Tabor tradition".
Arlene Meadows, Marketing Manager, Americas, added: "With the introduction of the Wonder Wave Series of arbitrary generators, with both single and dual channel models available, Tabor is providing breakthrough capabilities at old-fashioned prices for any engineer needing to design, create and output an electrical signal".
