Aeroflex has added List Mode as an option to the IFR 3410 series signal generators, offering a 6X increase in speed for high-volume production testing. The List Mode option allows the user to create and use lists to automate testing sequences and decrease test time. Using List Mode decreases the carrier frequency setting time from 3 ms using GPIB to 500µs—a 6X improvement. With the option, the user can create a list of frequencies and levels for a range of required tests. By filling out a table of desired frequencies and levels for testing, the user can automate testing of a variety of frequencies and levels. The company also announced that it is adding options for free pre-loaded waveform suites such as: CDMA2000, WLAN and GSM for all new IFR 3410 series orders. Optional pre-loaded waveform suites are available for the IFR 3410 series. Waveform suites allow the user to start generating test signals right away, without having to re-create or download standard waveform signals.
