Tektronix AFG31251 Arbitrary Function Generator 1Ch 250MHz

The Tektronix AFG31251 is a high-performance arbitrary function generator (AFG) with built-in arbitrary waveform generation, real-time waveform monitoring, and the largest touchscreen on the market.

This product features basic and advanced modes making it suitable for a range of operators. In basic mode this unit can generate traditional functions and arbitary waveforms direct from the touchscreen interface. In advanced mode it is possible to sequence up to 256 waveforms and define the output sequence. Additionally advanced mode uses variable sample rate technology. Every sample in a waveform is output once and only once in each cycle, synchronised to the sample rate. Since there is no skipping or repetition, all details in the waveforms are kept. This feature is very useful for applications in which signal fidelity is extremely critical, such as IQ modulation and pulse train generation.

* Single channel 1µHz to 250MHz Sine frequency range. * Patented InstaView™ technology enables engineers to see the actual waveform at the Device Under Test (DUT) in real time, without the need of an oscilloscope and probe, eliminating the uncertainty caused by mismatched impedance. * Sequencing option adds the ability to program long, complex waveforms with up to 256 steps. * The 9-inch capacitive touch screen works like a smart phone and has short-cuts to frequently used settings. * Built-in ArbBuilder lets you create and edit arbitrary waveforms on the instrument, eliminating the need to connect to a PC. * Outputs are protected from over voltage and current to minimize potential instrument damage. * Built-in Double Pulse Test application to generate voltage pulses with varying pulse widths onto the DUTs.
