Introduction Introduction
Introduction
Your Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) combines world-class signal fidelity with ultra high-speed
mixed signal simulation and a graphical user interface. The easy-to-use interface is built on the Microsoft
Windows plat
such as networked instruments.
AWG and Functions mode selection
The generator has two modes of operation, the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) mode and the
Functions mode. Access to either mode of operation is from the Home tabs of your instrument by selecting
either the AWG or Functions button.
form and is fully compatible with a wide range of PC hardware and software accessories,
AWG displays the arbitrary waveform generator Home screen with access to all AWG controls,
playing any waveshape from a file.
Functions displays the Home screen with controls to generate basic waveshapes, such as sine waves,
square waves, and triangle waves.
The AWG and Functions modes work independently from each other, but they both use the Analog
Output connectors to play out their waveforms.

Capacitive touchscreen interface.
Use the touchscreen to control all operations of the instrument. Or use in conjunction with a mouse,
keyboard, and front-panel controls. The front-panel Touchscreen button enables or disables the

Introduction Product software
External display
Enhanced viewing of the AWG display is easily accomplished by attaching an external monitor to the
VGA connector provided on the rear of the instrument.
By default, the VGA output is set to duplicate the AWG’s display, but you can use the Windows display
controls to change how the instrument uses an external display.
Product software
The instrument includes the following software and related documents:
System software
The system software is a specially configured version of Microsoft Windows, which is preinstalled
and enables you to install other compatible applications. For instructions on how to restore Microsoft
Windows, refer to the Installation and Safety manual that is shipped with your instrument. Do not
attempt to substitute any version of Windows that is not specifically provided by Tektronix for use
with your instrument.
Product software
The product software is the instrument application and runs on Microsoft Windows. It provides the
user interface (UI) and all other instrument control functions.
