Description:

The GX 320 function generator employs DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) technology, offering a level of frequency accuracy and stability superior to that of traditional generators. Covering a frequency range from 0.001 Hz to 20 MHz, the GX 320 produces precise signals in various forms, including sine, triangle, square, LOGIC, and TTL. The LOGIC function allows for direct adjustment of high and low levels, providing flexible adaptation to different applications.

The GX 320 provides multiple modulation options, including internal and external AM and FM modulation, as well as BURST and GATE functions for detailed analysis of short signal events. Shift-keying functions (FSK and PSK) allow phase and frequency shifts, while the SYNCH function enables synchronization of multiple signal generators. By cascading multiple generators, complex signals can be simulated, such as three-phase power systems or Fourier synthesis.

A practical SWEEP function allows for linear and logarithmic frequency changes with either sawtooth or triangle signals. The external frequency counter accurately measures frequencies from 5 Hz to 100 MHz. The ergonomic design includes a large LCD display (125 x 45 mm) with a five-digit main display and 20 mm digit height, ensuring clear visibility of all control parameters. The display's backlight and contrast are adjustable.

For remote control applications, the GX 320 is also available as a programmable model (GX320-E) with an ETHERNET interface and SCPI protocol, allowing for the storage of up to 15 complete configurations.
