Arbitrary/Function Generators
AFG 3011 / 3021B / 3022B / 3101 / 3102 / 3251 / 3252 Datasheet
Product Description
Unmatched performance, versatility, intuitive operation, and affordability
make the AFG300 0 Series of Function, Arbitrary Waveform, and Pulse
Generators the most useful instruments in the industry.
Superior Performance and Versatility
Users can choose from 12 different standard waveforms. Arbitrary
waveforms can be generated up to 128 K in length at high sampling
rates. On pulse waveforms, leading and trailing edge time can be set
independently. External signals can be connected and added to the output
