Arbitrary Function Generators AFG3000C Series Datasheet Applications Electronic Test and Design Sensor Simulation Functional Test Education and Training Product Description 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. Features & Benefits 10 MHz, 25 MHz, 50 MHz, 100 MHz, or 240 MHz Sine Waveforms 14 bits, 250 MS/s, 1 GS/s, or 2 GS/s Arbitrary Waveforms Amplitude up to 20 Vp-p into 50 Ω Loads 5.6 in. Color TFT LCD Display for Full Confidence in Settings and Waveform Shape Multilanguage and Intuitive Operation Saves Setup Time Pulse Waveform with Variable Edge Times 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 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 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.
