Description

The Tektronix AWG 2020 and AFG 2020 Arbitrary Generators combine the function of an arbitrary generator with a controller and a graphical user interface. A built-in high-resolution monitor facilitates waveform definition.

The AWG 2020 and AFG 2020 share a common user interface design and monolithic platform. While the basic operation is similar, each unit provides unique benefits. The AWG 2020 IS ideal for generating complex waveforms requiring long record lengths – up to 256K. It also includes a built-in 3.5 inch floppy disk lo facilitate data storage and waveform transfer. An MS-DOS compatible file management system allows waveform generation and transfer without an external cont roller for most operations.

The AFG 2020 is ideal for applications requiring both precision functions and limited arbitrary waveform generation. It uses Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) to generate highly accurate waveforms that can be defined in a 1K record length. II can generate standard sine waves up to 100 MHz square waves up to 50 MHz and triangle, ramp and pulse wave shapes up to 31.2 MHz
