Product Description

Unmatched performa nce, versatility, intuitive operation, and affordability

make th e AFG3000C Series of Function, Arbitrary Waveform, and Pulse

Generators

the most useful instruments in the industry.

Superior Pe

rformance and Versatility

Users can choose from 12 different stand ard waveforms. Arbitrary

waveforms

can be generated up to 128 K in length at high sampling

rates. On pu lse w ave forms, 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 instrumen ts fe ature 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 in

strument. Look a nd 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 deﬁn ed by standard functions, equation editor,

and waveform math.
