In Basic mode, the AFG31000 generates traditional functions and arbitrary waveforms. The touchscreen and front-panel controls make it simple to set up. Basic mode lets you change frequency without the need to worry about waveform length and sample rate. This feature is useful in analog designs that characterize filter/amplifier frequency responses or in digital designs where clock rates change frequently. Advanced mode lets you build complex waveform sequences with flexible step controls Key settings are visible at a glance, and are easy to adjust using touch, numeric keypad, or rotary controls Sequenced sine waveforms with different frequency and amplitude. New with the AFG31000, Advanced mode provides the ability to generate Additionally, Advanced mode uses variable sample rate technology. Every multiple waveforms with complex timing. In this mode, you can compose a sample in a waveform is output once and only once in each cycle, list (or a sequence) of 1 to 256 waveforms, with total waveform length up to synchronized to the sample rate. Since there is no skipping or repetition, all 16 Mpts/ch (128 Mpts/ch optional) and define the ouput sequence of these details in the waveforms are kept. This feature is very useful for waveforms. Repeat, go-to, wait, jump, and triggered events are all applications in which signal fidelity is extremely critical, such as IQ supported and the large memory provides space to store many waveforms modulation and pulse train generation. or long waveforms. This feature is very useful in applications where many test cases need to be performed sequentially. Instead of loading the test cases one by one, you can put all of them in a sequence and load at one time, switching from one to another seamlessly to greatly improve the test efficiency. 2 www.tek.com
