The HP 3324A is a synthesized function and sweep generator offering 5 ppm frequency accuracy, 1 mHz resolution, and a range of waveforms including sine, square, triangle, ramps, DC and an auxiliary TTL clock. It includes options such as a high‑stability frequency reference (0.05 ppm/week) and a high‑voltage output (up to 40 V p‑p). The instrument is designed for bench and ATE use and supports HP‑IB programming.
Key capabilities include Multi‑Interval Sweep with up to 50 intervals, phase‑continuous sweeping, Multi‑Marker mode for up to nine marker frequencies, and automatic phase calibration between two units using optional master/slave modules. Detailed electrical specifications, environmental limits, and ordering information are provided throughout the manual.
