Tabor’s WS8351/2 is a 350MHz single/dual
channel generator with the functionality of
a function, arbitrary, modulation and pulse/
pattern generator, all in one easy to use,
high performance, compact stand alone
bench top, which enables engineers to test
analog, digital and mixed signals devices
with a single instrument.
Standard Waveforms
The WS8351/2 has 11 built-in functions for
quick and easy waveform generation. Front
panel operations allows for easy selection
and editing of all waveform parameters.
All the standard waveforms can reach up
to 125MHz with Sine and Square going as
high as 350MHz and 250MHz respectively.
User Dened Waveforms
For more advanced users the WS8351/2
with its 14-bit vertical resolution offers
a standard 512Kpoint memory depth
and a 2GS/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 dened waveforms.

Common or Separate Clocks
Need a dual channel unit, a single channel
unit... why choose? With the new WS8352
you can have it both ways. The WS8352 has
two differential output channels, which operate
either independently, or synchronized. As two
separate channels, one has the advantage of
having two separate instruments in one box,
each having the ability to be programmed to
output different function shapes, frequencies,
amplitude levels and even in different run
modes. Alternatively, the advantage of having
two synchronized channels with less than
10ps skew and skew control is very signicant
in applications that require an accurate and
controlled phase between the two channels.
Pulse / Pattern Creation
Generating complex pulse trains has
never been easier. The Pulse Composer
is a powerful built-in tool that converts the
WS8351/2 to a very sophisticated Pulse/
Pattern Generator, allowing to create
literally any complex pulse train / pattern,
whether it’s a single pulse, multi-level,
linear-points, initialization or preamble
pattern denition, arbitrary bit design,
user-dened or even standard random

patterns with programmable resolution, so
it doesn’t matter if your application is radar
communications, nanotechnology or serial
bus testing, the pulse/pattern composer is
the right tool for your application. Moreover,
all the WS8351/2 advanced trigger modes
are applicable, hence one can choose to
use the “step” mode to advance every bit
independently or the “once” mode to advance
a complete data block in one trigger event,
enabling even more applications, such as
trigger, clock and data protocols.
Multi-Level and PAM(n) Signals
The WS8351/2’s pulse composer enables
up to 350Mbit/s data rate generation,
utilizing either NRZ and RZ modes (minimum
transition times) which is ideal especially
for multi level and PAM(n) applications
such as, LED (light-emitting diodes), CAN,
QPHY, FlexRay or simulating and testing
Ethernet environment, whether it’s 100Mbit/
s (100BASE-T), the later gigabit Ethernet
(1000BASE-T) or even the latest 802.3an
standard (10GBASE-T), which utilizes
PAM-16.
