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 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.

Questions and answers:

Q 1) Unit has two completely independent waveform generation channels. This means that all settings on one channel have no effect on the other channel.

A 2:It has two independent channels , no effect on other channel

Q 2) Each channel can be set to generate a single cycle sine wave whose frequency can be set over a range of at least 1 MHz to 15 MHz and with an amplitude which can be varied by at least 20 dB.

A "Yes, it can

Q 3) The single cycle can be triggered by an external logic input signal

A 3Yes,it can triggered with external logic in put signal

Q 4) The start time for the single cycle can be delayed with respect to the external trigger by a time period which can be adjusted over the range 0 to at least 10 uSec with a setting resolution of 100 nSec or better

A4 :Yes, it can

Q5: Is it possible to acheive 20 volts p-p out onTektronix AFG 3000 series?

A5:

output amplitude capabilities of AFG3000 series. The following is specified in the data sheet:

Depending on the load of the DUT, the voltage may vary (voltage divider rule). Let’s make the assumption that the customer has a AFG3101/3102. It can output 20Vpp if the load is much greater than 50 OHMS (1MOHMS input of a scope will display 20Vpp for example).

The value of the load can be set in the AFG through the output menu so that the AFG displays the amplitude actually generated.
