Arbitrary Function Generator
AFG1022 Datasheet
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 Vp-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.

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 mVp-p to 10 Vp-p output amplitude range, and
14-bit or 1 mVp-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.
