Just in time for the 2015 IEEE EMC Symposium in Santa Clara, Teseq (an AMETECK CTS brand) introduces its eight-channel arbitrary waveform generator for automotive immunity testing. The ARB 5500 has a frequency range up to 500 kHz and an output voltage range of -10 V to +10 V.
“The ARB 5500 provides the necessary control for all battery simulation tests and advanced functions like power magnetics and continuous wave (ripple) simulations. It supports waveforms that may be difficult to describe and real-world events that need to be simulated. All vital waveforms can be created from the built-in wave shapes or by loading a Clone™, a memory map of user-identified or prerecorded wave shapes, from an external application,” according to the company.
The ARB 5500 offers 64,000 segments and 1 GB of Clone memory for user-defined shapes. All eight channels offer individual trigger outputs, programmable current limits, drag and drop programming, and they support 16-bit output with a 10 MS/s playback. The channels can also be synchronized with an advanced parameter-ramping function when paired with Teseq’s AutoStar 7 software, according to the company.
