Output Skew Control Option
Key Features
- 10 ps resolution for wave output delay control
- Constant resolution for all sampling clock frequency settings
- Constant resolution across the full range
The HDAWG-SKW Output Skew Control option enhances the skew control resolution of the HDAWG's signal outputs to a value of 10 ps. In comparison, the skew control resolution of the base HDAWG instrument is a single sample clock cycle, i.e., 417 ps at the maximum sampling rate of 2.4 GHz. High-resolution skew control is relevant for some applications that require simultaneous sub-nanosecond signal rise times and inter-channel skew calibration below the nanosecond level.
HDAWG instruments purchased in 2019 or earlier are equivalent in functionality to the HDAWG with the HDAWG-SKW option purchased from 2020 onwards.
