Abstract

A modular, high-performance signal generator that delivers the smaller size, lighter weight, flexibility to upgrade or reconfigure, and supportability, required for the ATE of the future has been developed. Designed in an industry standard delivery system (MMS) with industry standard programming (SCPI), the Hewlett-Packard HP 70340A modular signal generator provides expandable performance, excellent reliability, and ease of use and support. With the HP 70340A both defense-related and commercial ATE can realize improved effectiveness: increased system uptime and throughput with a lower cost of ownership
