Stanford Research DS360 Ultra-Low Distortion Function Generator

RENT STANFORD RESEARCH SYSTEMS DS360 Ultra-Low Distortion Function Generator (call for availability)

The Stanford Research Systems (SRS) DS360 Ultra-Low Distortion Function Generator combines the advantages of a low distortion analog source with the precision of direct digital synthesis (DDS), making it the top choice for audio frequency applications. This advanced device utilizes digital signal processing integrated with a precision 20-bit D/A converter, allowing for ultra-low distortion output across the audio frequency spectrum.

Unlike conventional RC oscillators, the SRS DS360 ensures minimal output noise, thanks to its exceptional shielding and board layout. This feature makes it ideally suited for audio research, development, manufacturing, and automated testing.

The user-friendly design offers intuitive control; every function and parameter can be easily adjusted via the front-panel keypad and spin knob. The device also supports a diverse range of amplitude units and provides front-panel outputs with dual banana jacks for compatibility with any system. Full computer programmability is included, enabling control and queries through various interfaces.
