Applications
The Tektronix AWG2040 is a portable arbitrary waveform generator equipped with a differential output channel and capable of generating both arbitrary and standard function waveforms.
This arbitrary waveform generator provides these major features:
As an arbitrary waveform generator, the AWG2040 has a clock frequency of 1 GHz, an 8-bit DA converter and a 1M-word waveform memory (or 4M-word memory when Option 01 is installed) for high-quality waveform generation and differential output to one channel. It can also generate a two-channel arbitrary marker output to accompany waveform output.
The AWG2040 also has a digital out function (when Option 03 is installed) for direct output of the digital data for the arbitrary waveform in the waveform memory, without going through the D/A converter.
This instrument has five editors for making waveform files. Each editor is equipped with a variety of editing functions:
An FFT editor and a convolution waveform editor are provided with AWG2040 units that include Option 09. These editors support frequency domain editing and convolution calculations.
As a function generator, this instrument can generate sine waves, triangle waves, square waves, ramp waves, and pulse waves. It can set the frequency, amplitude, offset, polarity, and other factors for each of these waveforms.
The AWG2040 has a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and non-volatile memory for storing created waveform data and parameter settings. Each of these storage devices can store the files created with the editors.
You control this instrument by way of its front panel hierarchical menu display system or its rear panel GPIB or RS-232-C interfaces. Waveforms can be transferred directly through the GPIB interface from a digital storage oscilloscope. Such direct waveform transfers allow for many types of applications with other measurement equipment and computers. Supported equipment includes our major digital storage oscilloscopes as well as the digital storage oscilloscopes of other leading manufacturers.
