Tektronix AFG1022 Arbitrary Function Generator

Tektronix AFG1022 Arbitrary Function Generator

The AFG1022 Arbitrary Function Generator provides a waveform generation tool with the best price performance ratio. It includes dual channel, 25 MHz bandwidth and up-to 10 V p-p output amplitude. The four run modes, 50 built-in frequently-used waveforms and the built-in 200 MHz frequency counter cover most waveform generation needs in your experiment and test jobs. The 3.95-inch TFT LCD, short-cut buttons, USB interface and PC software provide the most intuitive ways to configure the instrument.

Applications

• Electric and electronics experiments
• Communications experiments
• Sensor simulation
• Functional test

Performance and features
1 μHz to 25 MHz sine waveform range, with 12-digit or 1 μHz resolution and a ±1 ppm drift high stability time base, provides great signal fidelity in the frequency domain. With 1 mV _p-p to 10 V _p-p output amplitude range, and 14-bit or 1 mV _p-p resolution over the whole frequency range, there is no need to compromise between output amplitude and frequency any more.

Four different run modes and four modulation modes cover most use cases with a cost effective solution. 50 most-frequently used standard and arbitrary waveforms are built-in for easy access. Up to 8,192 points arbitrary waveforms memory enables users to replicate real world signals captured with a Tektronix oscilloscope or defined with ArbExpress. The built-in 200 MHz and 6 digit resolution frequency counter is an easy and precise way to measure frequencies/periods/pulse widths/duty cycles.

Ease of use
The high-resolution 3.95-inch color TFT display shows relevant settings and parameters in both text and graphic formats, which give users full confidence in their settings, and let them focus on the task at hand. The front panel shortcut buttons and rotary knob make accesses to most frequently used functions and settings with minimum effort and time. The built-in 64-MByte non-volatile memory together with USB stick memory interface, provide unlimited space for user-defined waveform storage.

Software and solutions
Compatible with ArbExpress, the user-defined arbitrary waveforms generated by the free software can be loaded on the AFG1022 easily with a USB memory stick.

As a building block of Tektronix educational solution, the AFG1022 can be embedded into TekSmartLab and enable a cost efficient and effective way of teaching, learning, and lab management.
