The Serial Data Pattern Generator family also knows as SPG, is designed to generate a stream of binary information. The binary data is generated through the front end BNC or SMA connectors.
With up to 8 channels of data stream, built-in PRBS sequences, modulation features, transition shaping, and the flexibility of a powerful analog front-end, the SPG is the perfect tool for the most challenging applications, where the digital data should be modeled with analog characteristics to perform the parametric test of digital I/O.
The SPG is available as an option in the Arbitrary Waveform Generator AWG-4010 Series instruments (model AWG-4012 / AWG-4014 / AWG-4018).

All the instrument settings are just one touch away.
Replace Discontinued Pulse Pattern Generators
Keysight (former Agilent) 81110A PPG can be replaced
Recently the most important T&M manufactures have discontinued a wide set of data generators, instrument extremely useful for digital logic & ICs characterization, functional and debugging testing, radar and receiver applications, signal integrity experiments.
The following types of equipment from Keysight:
- 81110A 8110A 8112A 8130A 81130A 8131A 8133A 81180B 81101A 81104A
- VXI multi-channel system like Keysight E8311
have been discontinued or can be replaced by Active Technologies Serial Data Pattern Generators and allow you to restart your testing activities with confidence.
