The Agilent E1441A is an arbitrary waveform generator implemented as a C-size, single-slot, message-based VXI module. It uses direct digital synthesis to generate its output, an approach that lets it deliver broad waveform functionality from a compact modular form factor. Beyond fixed standard functions, it allows the user to design and store custom arbitrary waveforms.
An arbitrary waveform generator produces user-defined and standard electrical waveforms that serve as controllable stimulus signals for a device or system under test. The E1441A's output is isolated from earth ground, which minimizes ground loops and other common-mode noise in the measurement setup.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own test-and-measurement inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit we offer is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. Keeping inventory on hand in our own facility lets us match the right instrument and condition to each customer's requirement directly.
Agilent Technologies originated as the test-and-measurement business of Hewlett-Packard, which was spun out as a separate company named Agilent Technologies in 1999. That electronic measurement business was subsequently established as Keysight Technologies in 2014.
