DDS-3005 USB Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual

DDS-3005 USB arbitrary waveform generator is a high-precision, high-resolution, multi-functional arbitrary waveform generator. It has a built-in rich waveform and users can edit the waveform arbitrarily by mouse, and also choose regular waveforms, such as sine wave, square wave, triangle wave, sawtooth wave, TTL, white noise, Gauss noise, trapezoidal wave, exponential wave, AM wave and FM wave. Users can also set the waveform parameters, such as amplitude, frequency and phase.
