Product Overview

With the Tektronix AFG3000 Series Generators, 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.

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.

With this PC software waveforms can be seamlessly imported from any Tektronix oscilloscope, or defined by standard functions, equation editor, and waveform math.

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
Dual-channel models	Save cost and bench space by replacing two signal generators with one that offers two tightly synchronized or two completely independent signals.
Up to 1 GS/s sample rate	Generate waveforms with fine timing resolution.
Up to 20 Vp-p amplitude into 50 Ω load (AFG3011)	Save cost and set-up time by creating high amplitude signals without using an external power amplifier.
25 shortcut keys	Reduce set-up and evaluation time with direct access to frequently used functions and parameters.
Large 5.6" (142 mm) color display	Full confidence in your signal since all relevant settings and waveform graphs can be seen at a single glance.
Only 6.6" (168 mm) deep	Free up valuable bench space.
ArbExpress™ software	Create and modify waveforms with ease - import waveforms seamlessly from your Tektronix oscilloscope or create them via the equation editor, free hand, point draw or waveform math.
