Key features
Patented InstaView™ technology enables engineers to see the
actual waveform at the Device Under Test (DUT) in real time,
without the need of an oscilloscope and probe, eliminating the
uncertainty caused by mismatched impedance
Sequencing option adds the ability to program long, complex
waveforms with up to 256 steps
The 9-inch capacitive touch screen works like a smart phone and
has short-cuts to frequently used settings
Built-in ArbBuilder lets you create and edit arbitrary waveforms on
the instrument, eliminating the need to connect to a PC
Outputs are protected from over voltage and current to minimize
potential instrument damage
Built-in Double Pulse Test application to generate voltage pulses
with varying pulse widths onto the DUTs
Applications
Advanced research
Clock and system synchronization
Replication of real world signals
Component and circuit characterization and validation
Embedded circuit design and test
General purpose signal generation
Double pulse test
Basic and Advanced Modes
The AFG31000 series is the industry’s first arbitrary function generator
with full function Basic (AFG) and Advanced (Sequence) modes.
In Basic mode, the AFG31000 generates traditional functions and
arbitrary waveforms. The touchscreen and front-panel controls make it
simple to set up.
Basic mode lets you change frequency without the need to worry about
waveform length and sample rate. This feature is useful in analog
designs that characterize filter/amplifier frequency responses or in
digital designs where clock rates change frequently.
