Product overview
The R&S®HMF2525 / HMF2550 is a high-precision arbitrary function generator from Rohde & Schwarz covering 10 μHz to 25 MHz (HMF2525) or 50 MHz (HMF2550), with sine, square, triangle, pulse and arbitrary waveform output. Its arbitrary waveform generator runs at 250 Msample/s with 14-bit resolution and 256 kpoint memory, so complex signals are reproduced faithfully. Strong pulse generation and a low cost of ownership make it a natural choice for the development bench and for production test.
Key features
- Wide frequency range: 10 μHz to 25 MHz (HMF2525) or 50 MHz (HMF2550), for a broad spread of test scenarios
- High-performance arbitrary waveform generation: 250 Msample/s sample rate, 14-bit resolution, 256 kpoint memory depth
- Powerful pulse generator: pulse repetition rate up to 12.5 MHz (HMF2525) / 25 MHz (HMF2550), pulse width settable from 15 ns to 999 s with 5 ns resolution
- Adjustable rise/fall time: 8 ns to 500 ns, for faithful reproduction of real circuit edges
- Wide output voltage range: 5 mV to 10 V (Vpp) into 50 Ω, to suit a wide range of devices under test
- USB port on the front panel: load arbitrary waveform files straight from a USB stick
- Free R&S®HMExplorer PC software: design and import arbitrary waveforms on a PC and transfer them to the instrument over USB
- Interface options: RS-232/USB, Ethernet/USB or IEEE-488 (GPIB) remote control interfaces for system integration
- Triangle waves up to 10 MHz: high-frequency triangle output alongside the other standard waveforms
