The FIREBERD 4000 Communications Analyzer is a flexible, cost-effective instrument
that tests digital circuits and equipment. Combining convenience and reliable performance,
the FIREBERD 4000 is ideally suited for a wide variety of test applications.
Operating at rates from 50 b/s to 15 Mb/s, the FIREBERD 4000 provides a high degree
of flexibility for testing G.703, T-Carrier, and DDS circuits, evaluating equipment performance,
or performing long-term or unattended testing. The instrument features a range
of standard data rates, plus the ability to operate at non-standard data rates
when the optional frequency synthesizer is installed.
