Applications

• In-line Audio Transmission Link Testing

The two-channel ASG100 is for situations where the generator is inserted in-line with the audio path of interest. When used in this fashion, the ASG100 can insert a variety of test signals into the audio program. The output impedance is programmable, allowing it to be used with either power-matched or voltage-driven signal distribution schemes.

Tektronix audio generators offer potent solutions for audio testing. The two-channel ASG100 combines compact size, ease-of-use and programmability. Operated manually or automatically, they produce signals used for aligning, servicing and testing of audio facilities.

Test signal capability starts with simple line up, polarity and level signals. Added to these are tone sweeps for checking distortion, frequency response and crosstalk. CCITT 0.33 signals and Multitone signals support advanced audio analysis capability found in the VM700T. Digital synthesis of signals ensures signal stability and repeatability.

The ASG100/140 are operated by simple front-panel controls. Alternately, users may operate these generators via their rear-panel RS-232 remote control port. Supporting a variety of baud rates, this interface permits seamless integration of audio signal generators in ATE test schemes. A wide variety of editing schemes permits user-defined values to be stored for later reuse.
