AFG31000 Series Datasheet

The AFG31000 Series is the best-in-class waveform generation platform

designed for the most demanding expectations on performance and

versatility, throughout the whole process of product realization. The 9-inch

capacitive touch screen, built-in arbitrary waveform application, and

patented InstaView

™

technology bring unprecedented user experience for

researchers and engineers, and enable them to focus on their job instead

of learning how to use a tool.

Datasheet Dual Operation Modes Balance Usability and Flexibility The AFG31000 series is the industry’s first arbitrary function generator with full function Basic (AFG) and Advanced (Sequence) modes. Basic mode has a dedicated user interface similar to traditional AFG for generating function and arbitrary waveforms with minimum button clicks and shallow menu hierarchy.

AFG31000 Series AFG showing the nominal waveform with InstaView™ turned on AFG showing the nominal waveform with InstaView™ turned off With the patented InstaView™ technology, the AFG31000 series can measure and show the waveform at the DUT, instead of just the nominal waveform set on the AFG, without any other instrument. All you need is just the cable between the AFG output and the DUT, which has already been there.
PAGE 4
Datasheet Simplified multi-unit synchronization Most applications just need one or two channels of output, but there are many others need more. In these cases, users need to synchronize two or more units to extend the number of channels. To do this used to be painful, as it required many cable connections between the two units, and setting changes in deep branches of the menu trees onall instruments.
