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

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.
