Arbitrary/Function Generators
AFG3000C Series Datasheet
Applications
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.
Unmatched performance, versatility, intuitive operation, and affordability
make the AFG3000C Series of Function, Arbitrary Waveform, and Pulse
Generators the most useful instruments in the industry.
Key performance specifications
On pulse waveforms, leading and trailing edge time can be set
independently. External signals can be connected and added to the output
signal. Dual-channel models can generate two identical or completely
different signals. All instruments feature a highly stable time base with only
±1 ppm drift per year.
Electronic test and design

14 bits, 250 MS/s, 1 GS/s, or 2 GS/s arbitrary waveforms
Amplitude up to 20 V
Key features
5.6 in. display for full confidence in settings and waveform shape
Multi-language and intuitive operation saves setup time
Pulse waveform with variable edge tmes
AM, FM, PM, FSK, PWM
Sweep and burst
Dual-channel models save cost and bench space
USB connector on front panel for waveform storage on memory device
USB, GPIB, and LAN
LabVIEW and LabWindows/IVI-C drivers
into 50 Ω loads

Intuitive user interface shows more
information at a single glance
Color TFT LCD screen on all models shows all relevant waveform
parameters and graphical wave shape at a single glance. This gives full
confidence in the signal settings and lets you focus on the task at hand.
Shortcut keys provide direct access to frequently used functions and
parameters. Others can be selected conveniently through clearly structured
menus. This reduces the time needed for learning and relearning how to
use the instrument. Look and feel are identical to the world's most popular
TDS3000 Oscilloscopes.
ArbExpress™ software included for creating
waveforms with ease
With this PC software waveforms can be seamlessly imported from any
Tektronix oscilloscope, or defined by standard functions, equation editor,
and waveform math.
