The HM8131-2 is a 15 MHz arbitrary function generator from HAMEG Instruments GmbH (a Rohde & Schwarz Company). The document lists six standard signal forms plus arbitrary signals, direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS), an input for an external 10 MHz time base, and master-slave mode for up to 3 generators. Signal storage is possible with the optional HO831 SRAM memory card, and RS-232 is fitted as standard with USB and IEEE-488 available as options.
The datasheet gives the full specification table: frequency specifications, waveforms (sine, rectangle, triangle, ramp, noise, arbitrary), inputs for gate/trigger, amplitude modulation and external reference, signal and trigger outputs, DC offset, internal sweep, FSK/PSK and amplitude modulation, gate and burst modes, and miscellaneous data such as supply voltage, dimensions and weight. Accessories supplied are the operators manual and a power cable.
