Interface Technology RS-660 Word Generator

The Interface Technology RS-660 Word Generator is a specialized instrument for creating and outputting digital word patterns and custom test signals. Operating in dual modes—Word Generator and Timing Simulator—it delivers flexible signal generation for digital communication and data processing applications. The Word Generator mode enables creation of digital word patterns with independent channel, bit-per-channel, and data entry configuration. Users select run mode, sync bit number, clock source, and clock period to suit specific test requirements. Data is displayed in hexadecimal, octal, or binary format. The Timing Simulator mode programs waveforms with infrequent state changes over extended intervals, specifying data state and duration independently.
