DDSPA4X Quad-output Rack Direct Digital Synthesizers, Phase control, External Clock

Description

The DDSPA4X is a 110-230 VAC rack based on 4 x DDSPA and hence 4 outputs, dedicated to high accuracy applications. Each output can be independently controlled either through parallel ports for fast communication or through USB. User has the possibility to not only control the frequency/amplitude of the 4 outputs but also their respective phases. With the embedded amplifiers, the DDSPA4X delivers the necessary RF power to control the associated AO devices.
