The AFG31000 device. Source: TektronixNewark Element14, a division of Avnet Inc., is now stocking the Tektronix AFG31000 Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG), a waveform platform designed to work through the whole process of product realization.
The AFG31000 includes a 9-inch capacitive touch display for locating and changing settings faster, real-time monitoring of the generated waveform on the device under test and the ability to “draw” a waveform on screen with fingertips using the built-in waveform creation tool called ArbBuilder. This tool allows for arbitrary waveform creation and editing software, eliminating the need to connect to a PC or use a USB drive to load arbitrary waveforms.
The generator is available in one and two-channel models, each has an output amplitude range from 1 mVP-P to 10 VP-P into 50 ohm loads. The operating modes include:
- Sine waves from 25 to 250 MHz
- Sampling from 250 MS/s to 2 GS/s
- Continuous, modulation, sweeping and burst run modes
