SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This chapter contains important safety
instructions that should be followed when
operating and storing the function generator.
Read the following before any operation to
ensure your safety and to keep the function
generator in the best condition.
Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Double Insulated
Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.
General
Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.
Do not place flammable objects on the
instrument.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
may damage the function generator.
Avoid discharges of static electricity on or near
the function generator.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
The instrument should only be disassembled by
a qualified technician.
Power Supply
WARNING
DC Input voltage: 5V/2A.
Do not exceed an input voltage of 5V±5%.
Fuse
WARNING
Fuse type: F3.15A/125V.
Only qualified technicians should replace the
fuse.
To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power and all test leads before
replacing the fuse.
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before replacing the fuse.
Safety Guidelines

AFG-125/225 Series Options Manual
Cleaning the
function
generator
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
function generator.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid
into the function generator.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh products
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
and avoid strong magnetic fields.
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies pollution degrees and
their requirements as follows. The function generator falls under
degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.

Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted

AFG-125/225/125P/225P Overview
The AFG-125, AFG-225, AFG-125P and AFG-225P are arbitrary
function generator modules for use with the GDS-2000A series
DSOs. The options require the DS2-FH1 module extension bay to
secure the module to the DSO. This user manual will explain how
to become familiar with the arbitrary function generator modules.
The Getting Started chapter will introduce the modules with an
overview of the features and installation of the APP and
accompanying PC software. The Operation chapter will go over the
operation details.
Note1: The AFG-125/225/125P/225P are only supported with
GDS-2000A series DSOs with firmware version V1.19 or above
installed.
Note2: Throughout this manual AFG-125 will refer to both the
AFG-125 and the AFG-125P, unless stated otherwise. Similarly,
AFG-225 will refer to both the AFG-225 and AFG-225P, unless
stated otherwise.

Background
As only the AFG-225 has dual channels, it has a

Dual Channel
Functions
Function
Description
Frequency Coupling
Frequency coupling will
couple the channel outputs by
frequency. Frequency
coupling can be achieved by
frequency offset or by a
frequency ratio.
Amplitude Coupling
Amplitude coupling will
couple the both channel
outputs by amplitude. Any
changes in amplitude in one
channel is reflected in the
other channel.
Tracking
There are two tracking modes,
ON and Inverted. When
turned on, tracking performs
frequency and amplitude
tracking so the channels
behave as a single channel.
When set to inverted, the one
channel will output the
inverse of the other.
S_Phase
S_Phase will synchronize the
phase of both channels.

Sync Setup
Background
The sync output signal is output from the SYNC
port on the front panel. The sync output signal is
based on either the channel 1 or channel 2 output
signals. Each periodic type of waveform output
function has an associated sync output signal.
The characteristics of the sync output depend on
the selected signal source.
Sync Signal
Output
Sine, Square, Pulse,
Ramp Source
For these types of waveforms,
the sync output is a square
wave pulse. The pulse is high
for the positive transition of
the waveform and low for the
negative transition. The signal
is a TTL level signal.

Carrier: The sync signal
output is a positive TTL level
pulse for the positive
transition of the sweep

negative transition.
Marker: The marker signal
output is a TTL level positive
pulse from the “marker”
frequency to the stop
