or complex relationships.
A true arbitrary generator
The 280 and 290 Series are
highly sophisticated 12-bit
arbitrary waveform generators
capable of recreating virtually
any waveform. True variable
clock architecture is used with
clock speeds between 0.1 Hz and
100 MHz (40 MHz on 280 Series
units). This architecture avoids

replayed at a specified waveform
frequency, period or sample clock
rate. An external sample clock
can also be used on 290 Series
units allowing seamless on the
fly changes to output frequency.
storage is on removable Compact
Flash cards, making waveform
management easy and effectively
unlimited.
Function generator
Each channel can operate as a
full DDS function generator. High
quality sine, cosine, haversine,
havercosine and square waves
are available between 1 mHz and
16 MHz (280 Series) or up to 50
MHz (290 Series). Triangle, ramp
and sine(x)/x waveforms are
available from 0.1 mHz up to
500 kHz.
Pulse generator
Each channel can generate not
just pulses, but also complex
pulse trains. A pattern of up to
10 pulses can be quickly defined,
with each pulse having its own
amplitude, width and delay.
The whole pulse train pattern
can then be replayed at a user
defined repetition rate. Where
variable rise time pulses are
required, the full arbitrary
function can be used.

can be down loaded to the
instrument via the digital inter-
faces (or memory card where
fitted).
Memory card storage
Fluke 290 Series units incorpo-
rate a CompactFlash memory
card, giving effectively unlim-
ited stor age for waveforms and
setups. Waveform data can be
transferred directly from a PC to
the memory card using the USB
card reader/writer supplied.
GPIB, RS-232, USB
The 280 and 290 Series
incorporate both RS-232 and
GPIB (IEEE-488) interfaces as
standard. 290 Series units also

have a USB interface. These can
be used for loading arbitrary
wave forms and for remote
control of all the instru ment
functions.
Waveform sequencing
The variable clock architec-
ture of the 280 and 290 Series
enables waveforms to be
se quenced. Up to 1024 arbitrary
waveforms may be linked in a
sequence (16 waveforms on 280
Series). Each waveform can have
a loop count of up to 32,768 and
the whole sequence can be run
contin uously or re peated more
than a million times.
waveforms on dif ferent channels
can be ‘daisy chained’ and
looped. By summing the channel
outputs, multiple segments from
multiple channels can be used
to create highly complex wave-
forms.
Wide range sweep
All waveforms can be swept
over their full fre quency range
at a rate variable between milli-
seconds and minutes. Sweep
can be linear or logarithmic,
single or continuous. Single
sweeps can be triggered from
the front panel, the trigger input,
or the digital interfaces. Multiple
channels can be swept simulta-
neously.
For multi-channel models,
