Product Description
Unmatched performance, versatility,
intuitive operation and affordability make
the AFG3000 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 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.
Intuitive User Interface Shows More
Information at a Single Glance
A large screen shows all relevant waveform parameters and graphical waveshape 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.
