MULTIPLE FREQUENCY SIGNAL GENERATOR

MODEL ASX-16C/P

REMOTE-CONTROLLED SIGNAL GENERATOR WITH REMOTE FREQUENCY TRIM AND BASE LEVELLING

Picture of 160 channel ASX-16C generator The Model ASX-16C/P is an improved version of the Model ASX-16B, ASX-16C using enhanced technology. While retaining its Remote Frequency Trim feature, the Model ASX-16C/P also provides carriers that can be adjusted over a linear range of 15 dB with 0.025 dB resolution. This model provides clean, modulated and unmodulated, crystal-controlled, amplitude-variable outputs, up to +57 dBmV per channel. All operations are controlled remotely, using the IEEE-488 (GPIB).  An internal frequency counter option is available which simplifies the setting and checking of operating frequencies.

The Model ASX-16C/P is software-compatible with the Model ASX-16B and ASX-16C.

Different frequency plans such as NTSC, PAL I, PAL B/G, CENELEC, etc. may be combined in a single generator to allow instant switching between the plans through software control.  All of the plan configurations will exhibit the same low distortion specifications of the ASX-16C single frequency plan configurations.
