Tektronix AFG31000 Series User Manual

AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator User's Manual xxiii
Getting started
Thank you for choosing a Tektronix product. The Series 31000 Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG)
instruments are high-performance instruments with built-in waveform generation applications,
real-time waveform monitoring called InstaView
TM
, and an improved user interface for higher test
efficiency.
General features and benefits
The AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generators (AFG) provide pulse and function generation
with arbitrary waveform capability.
These instruments provide the following features and benefits:
 Dual operation, either using a nine-inch capacitive touchscreen or front-panel keys with
navigation wheel, ensure usability and flexibility.
 InstaView
TM
technology allows you to see the actual waveform of the device under test (DUT)
in real time, without the need for an oscilloscope and probe. This eliminates the uncertainty
caused by unmatched impedance.
 Shallow menu tree ensures fast and easy browsing, locating, and changing settings.
 Built-in ArbBuilder for arbitrary waveform creation and editing eliminates the need to connect
to a PC or use a USB flash drive to load arbitrary waveforms.
 Instrument output is protected from overvoltage and overcurrent, minimizing the possibility of
damaging the instrument.
Key performance specifications
The AFG31000 Series instruments provide pulse and function generation with arbitrary waveform
capability. The instruments include the following key performance specifications:
 One or two-channel models.
 Output amplitude range: 1 mV
pp
to 10 V
pp
with 50 Ω loads.
 Basic Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) mode.
 25 MHz, 50 MHz, 100 MHz, 150 MHz, or 250 MHz sine waveforms (AFG model-dependent).
 250 MS/s, 500 MS/s (Advanced mode only), 1 GS/s, or 2 GS/s sampling rate.
 14-bit DAC vertical resolution.
 AFG mode supports continuous, modulation, sweep, and burst run modes.
 AFG mode supports 128K points of arbitrary waveform memory per channel.
 Advanced mode supports continuous, sequence, gated, and trigger modes.
 Advanced mode supports 16M points of arbitrary waveform memory per channel (you have
the option to get 128M points based on your license).
 Up to 256 steps in sequence mode with loop, jump, and wait events.
 Variable sampling clock: 1 µS/s up to 2 GS/s.
 Minimum waveform length: 168 points with granularity of one point.
