The Agilent 33500 Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator User’s Guide provides operation, safety, and specification details.
This guide describes the Agilent 33500 Series 30 MHz synthesized function and arbitrary waveform generator, its front‑panel controls, rear‑panel connectors, and available interfaces such as USB, LAN and optional GPIB. It explains how to set up the instrument, select waveforms, and use built‑in arbitrary waveform and pulse capabilities.
Safety notices, grounding requirements, and operating limits are covered, followed by detailed specifications for frequency range, sample rate, output impedance, and accuracy. The document also includes programming information, SCPI command reference, and troubleshooting tips.
| Frequency Range (Sine) | 1 µHz to 30 MHz |
|---|---|
| Sample Rate | 1 µSa/s to 250 MSa/s |
| Output Impedance (nominal) | 50 Ω |
| Maximum Isolated Connector Voltage | ±42 Vpk |
Make all connections before applying power, select the appropriate line voltage on the fuse module, and ground the instrument via the earth terminal.
The generator supports up to 1 MSa of arbitrary waveform memory, expandable to 16 MSa with Option 002.
Each channel has a nominal output impedance of 50 Ω.
