Standard Waveforms
The WS8101 has 11 built in functions for quick and easy wave generation. Front panel operations allows for easy selection of wave form and editing of all wave parameters. All of the standard waves can reach up to 31.25MHz with Sine and Square going as high as 100MHz and 62.5MHz respectively.

User Defined Waveforms
For more advanced users the WS8101 with its 16-bit vertical resolution offers a standard 512kb memory depth and a 250MS/s sample clock for designing waveforms. With the ability to control and edit the value of each and every point any wave is possible. The memory can be divided into segments for storing all of the user defined waveforms.

Modulated Waveforms
Agility and modulation capabilities open the door to diverse applications. In addition to the capability of generating any shape and style of waveform with the arbitrary waveform generation power, the products can also do standard modulation schemes such as FM, AM, FSK, sweep and PSK without sacrificing the power of the instrument control and output run modes.

Accuracy and Stability
As standard, the instrument is equipped with an internal frequency reference that has 1ppm accuracy and stability over a period of 1 year. An external frequency reference is provided on the rear panel for applications requiring greater accuracy or stability, supported by the instruments up to 14 digits resolution from remote.

Easy to Use
Large and user-friendly 3.8 back-lit color LCD display facilitates browsing through menus, updating parameters and displaying detailed and critical information for your waveform output. Combined with numeric keypad, cursor position control and a dial, the front panel controls simplify the often complex operation of an arbitrary function generator.

Remote Control
Model WS8101 comes standard with a variety of interfaces: LAN, USB and GPIB allowing the user to freely select the interface best suited to his individual requirements. The included ArbConnection software is a powerful editorial tool for designing waveforms and provides the user with full control of instrument functions, modes and features.

Multiple Environments to Write Your Code
Model WS8101 comes with a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments such as: Labview, CVI, C++, VB and MATLAB. You may also link the supplied dll to other Windows based APIs or, use low level SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) to program the instrument, regardless if your application is written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh operating systems.

Automated External Self-Calibration
Leading-edge technology is implemented to allow calibration from any interface, USB, GPIB or LAN and calibration factors are stored in a flash memory thus eliminating the need to open instrument covers.

ArbConnection
The ArbConnection software provides you with full control of instrument functions, modes and features. ArbConnection is a powerful editorial tool that allows you to easily design any type of waveform. Whether it is the built in wave, pulse or serial data composers, or the built in equation editor with which you can create your own exotic functions, ArbConnection makes virtually any application possible.
