electric shock
or frre hazard the instrument terminals must not be connecteddirectly to the mains power supply or any
other source
of voltage or CUITent that might temporarily exceed the peak ratings of the instrument
WARNING
&
To avoid in jury or 1088 of life, do not connect or disconnect signalleads while they are
connected, or suspected of being, connected to a hazardous voltage or eurrent source
(internai or external to the instrument).
Maintenance and Repair
Local or national safety regulations andrules for the prevention of accidents and hazard must be observed in aIl work
performed.
The unit must be disconnected from all signal sources and then the power supply before the removal of
covers. Any ad justm en t, parts replacement, maintenance or repair should be carried out only by authorised Wavetek-
Datron technical personnel.
WARNING
&For
continued protectionagainst injury and fire hazard il is essential that only manufacturer
supplied parts be used to replace parts relevant to safety. Safety tests must be performed
after the replacement of parts relevant to safety.
Ventilation and Oust
The instrument relies on forced air cooling via afan and ventilation slots. Adequate ventilation can usually be achieved
by positioning on alevel surface and by leaving a75
mm (3" gap) around the instrument. Care should he taken to avoid
restricting the airflow to

Introduction
1.1 THE MODEl 395
Section 1
Wavetek-Datron's Model 395 lOO-MHz synthesized arbitrary waveform
generator delivers high-speed performance in both bench-top
and ATE applications. The Model395 combines the capabilities of asynthesized
arbitrary waveform generator, synthesized function generator, pulse generator, noise
generator, sweep generator, and trigger generator. As amodulation source, the Model
395 provides real-time
AM and SCM, and synthesized AM, SCM and FM.
The Mode1395's ImHzto 100
MHz clockgenerates arbitrary (user-defmed) waveforms
with 12 bits
of vertical resolution (4096 points: -2048 to +2047) and up to 256K points
of horizontal memory for simulating "reaI-world" non-standard signaIs. At c10ck rates
of 50 MHz or below, Mode1395 uses direct digital synthesis (DDS) that provides high-
frequency resolution (up to 10 digits). Mode1395 is an excellent signaI source for awide
range
of applications, inc1uding in-circuit testing of semiconductors, communication
testing requiring complex pulse patterns, and performance characterization testing
of
electrical devices.
Create arbitrary waveforms using the Mode1395's front panel by using point-by-point,
copy, or line edit modes. Also, use the RS-232 interface
or optionaI GPffi (IEEE-488.2,
SCPI compatible) interface to upload waveforms. Wavetek-Datron's WaveFormDSP
software tool makes waveform creation, modification, and uploading easy over the
GPffi interface. TheDirect DSO Upload, part
of Option 001 IEEE-488 Interface, allows
transfer
of waveforms captured with adigital storage oscilloscope directly into the
Mode1395.
Anothercapability, Sequence, allows up to four waveforms to
be linked in asequence
with advancement from one waveform to the next conditional upon waveform repeat
(loop) counts and trigger signaIs.
In addition to complex arbitrary waveforms, Model 395 provides anumber
of synthesized
standard waveforms inc1uding sine waves to
40 MHz, square waves to 50 MHz, and
triangle waves to 10 MHz.
The built-in pulse generator generates pulses with programmable parameters that
inc1ude rate, width, delay, and rise/faIl times. Pulse train aIlows you to create aseries
of
up to 10 independently programmable pulses each with their own level, width, delay,
rise/faIl times.
Noise functions provide anaIog noise, digital noise, signaI-pIus-noise, comb, and comb-
plus-noise.
Sweep aIlows frequency sweeps from
ImHz to 20 MHz in one continuous band and
inc1ude seven sweep modes, as well as linear
or logarithrnic spacing.
TheModel 395 allows reaI-time
AM and SCM modulation of both standard and arbitrary
waveforms.
For non-continuous operation, the Model 395 provides triggered and gated modes.
Triggered
mode includes programmable burst counts from 1 to 1,048,575 counts.
Trigger sources inc1ude
an internaI trigger rate generator, manual trigger key, trigger
inputBNC, and remote trigger commando
Mode1395 is designed to provide an
MrBF in excess of 10,000 hours, thus the Model
395 is extremely reliable.
The easy-to-use calibration procedure can be performed
entirely from the front panel
in less than fi:fteen minutes withoutremoving the instrument
coyer.
