May 12, 2009 – ZTEC Instruments announces their new series of waveform generators, the ZT5210.
Available in PCI, PXI, VXI, & LXI, these multi-channel waveform generators feature a sampling rate of
200 MS/s, a bandwidth of 50 MHz, and 14-bit resolution.

The arbitrary waveform functionality of these instruments is extremely flexible. Up to 32M samples
per channel can be output using an 8M sample waveform library. Users can mix and match up to 8
sequences from the waveform library, each with 4096 segments/sequence.

In addition to its arbitrary waveform generator features, the ZT5210 series offers a robust function
generator library. Built-in functions include sine, square, triangle, ramp, pulse, sinc pulse, Gaussian
pulse, Lorentz pulse, AM, FM, DC, haversine, havercosine, half cycle sine, noise, multi-tone, & serial
data.

The ZT5210 series provides high channel density for all platforms with 2 independent outputs on
PCI & PXI, and 2 or 4 outputs on VXI & LXI. Each output channel is completely independent of the
other channels, making these instruments ideal for applications requiring independent control of
each output. Additionally, the dual memory on each channel allows waveforms to be played from
one memory bank while a second waveform is loaded into the other memory bank on the same
channel. In binary modulation mode, the output toggles between the waveforms in each memory
bank based on an external input or trigger.

For high voltage applications, the 5210 series generates signals up to 14 Vpp into 50 Ohm loads or
28Vpp into high impedance loads.

Every instrument in the ZT5210 series includes ZWave® Waveform Generator Software. ZWave®
looks & works exactly like a benchtop waveform or function generator. It provides quick access to all
settings, a waveform viewer, as well as configuration save & recall. Drivers for C/C++, IVI, LabVIEW,
& COM are also complimentary with the instrument. IDE project examples and support for
LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio, and LabVIEW are also available. All of ZTEC’s drivers & software
works with Windows and Linux.
