Ultrasonic signal generator

CKDAF

I am currently using Olympus 5077PR square wave emitter/receiver for ultrasound signal generator. I am wondering if this could be replaced with GW INSTEK SFG-1003 from your shop?

    E14 is an engineering forum and only indirectly related to Farnell, Newark and Avnet - so for specific advice about products sold by the various outlets you should ask them directly.

    SO this advice is based on my engineering experience and I don't represent any one but me.

    I have designed piezo electric transducers of various types.

    The Olympus generator is specifically designed for driving piezo transducers and picking up return signals.

    The GW INSTEK SFG-1003 is a low cost signal generator.

    The 5077 can generate 400V pulses, the 1003 can manage 10V on a high impedance load.

    They are not equivalent.

    If you were to explain what sort of device you wish to drive and the kind of experiments that you want to do it might be possible to give you more useful advice.
