Requirement of these instruments varies and depends on their application areas.
Some application like electronic, electrical, automation, etc. require standard waveforms, arbitrary waveforms,
variable digital pattern and protocol generation. Analog signal combination and multiple digital signals are also
required for some applications like power electronics, embedded, DSP and VLSI.
To test run time analog and digital communication systems, modulated signals are required in some applications.
Similarly if we talk about analog and digital signal analysis then time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis,
phase analysis, jitter analysis, logic analysis and protocol analysis are required in various applications.
Frequency measurement of clock pulse and data recording with time are also required in some applications to
record data between two acquisitions with minimum, average and maximum level provision.

Communication Signal Analysis in the Time and Frequency Domain
From a physical point of view signals are oscillations or waves. They are imprinted
with certain information by changing according to a certain pattern. So,
communication signals like analog or digital information, carrier, un-modulated or
modulated signals etc. are very important signals to analyze in time and frequency
domain.

Jitter Analysis in Time Domain
With increasing data rates, jitter analysis of reference clock signals becomes more
and more important. In the high range, even small jitter has significant influence on
system performance. For example, the stability of reference clocks for components
of high-speed serial links has a strong influence on the bit error ratio. A detailed
characterization of the jitter of the reference clock is necessary to improve the
reliability with increasing data rates.

Phase and Frequency Analysis of a Signal
Any periodically oscillating sinusoidal wave (or simple MR signal) has three
fundamental properties: amplitude, frequency, and phase. These properties are
explicitly apparent in the mathematical formulation for a sine wave.
S(t) = A sin(ù t - ? )o
where S(t) is the signal as a function of time, A is the amplitude, ù is the angular o
frequency, and ? is the instantaneous phase. By adjusting these factors, the
appearance of the sine wave can be varied. Instantaneous phase (? ) represents an
angular shift between two sine waves and is measured in radians (or degrees). A sine
wave and a cosine wave are 90° (ð/2 radians) out of phase with each other. By using
DesignLab3 phase and frequency analysis mode we can directly see the phase and
frequency of a given signal.

Arbitrary Signal Generation
Arbitrary waveform generator is a form of function or signal generator that is able to
produce an arbitrary waveform defined by a set of values, i.e. "waypoints" entered to
set the value of the waveform at different times. As a result an arbitrary waveform
generator is able to produce virtually any wave shape that is required. User can create
the same signal in the lab which he / she is going to face in the field.
Multiple provision and features are provided in Scientech Designlab3 interactive
software to generate variety of Arbitrary waveforms. Generating a modulated signal with the Function Generator
Data Recorder
Data Recorder/Data Logger
One of the primary benefits of using data loggers is the ability to automatically collect
data on a hour, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Upon activation, data loggers are
typically deployed and left unattended to measure and record information for the
duration of the monitoring period. This allows for a comprehensive, accurate picture
of the environmental conditions or machine performance being monitored, such as
heart rate, air temperature and relative humidity.
Sweep Signal Generation
A sweep frequency generator is a type of signal generator that is used to generate a
sinusoidal output. Sweep-frequency generators are primarily used for measuring the
responses of amplifiers, filters, and electrical components over various frequency
bands. It is really a hectic task to know the performance of measurement of
bandwidth over a wide frequency range with a manually tuned oscillator. By using a
sweep-frequency generator, a sinusoidal signal that is automatically swept between
two chosen frequencies can be applied to the circuit under test and its response
against frequency can be displayed on an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer. Thus the
measurement time and effort is considerably reduced.Sweep function
