AFG31000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generator

A replacement for AFG3000 Series

The Tektronix AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/ Function Generators are being discontinued and replaced by the AFG31000 Series Arbitrary/ Function Generators. The high-performance AFG31000 Series offers built-in waveform generation application, patented real-time wave monitoring, and a modern user interface in a powerful, affordable, and easy-to-use AFG.

The large capacitive touchscreen and built-in ArbBuilder tool enable users to create and edit arbitrary waveforms right on the instrument.

SAVE TIME AND EFFORT WITH THE NINE-INCH TOUCHSCREEN

The AFG31000 Series features the industry's largest AFG touchscreen; pinch, zoom, and scroll just like a smart device to easily locate settings and parameters on the simple menu or shortcuts to frequently-used settings.

VERIFY YOUR WAVEFORM AT THE DEVICE UNDER TEST

Patented InstaViewTM technology lets you see the actual waveform at the device under test (DUT) in realtime - without an oscilloscope or probe - eliminating any uncertainty typically caused by mismatched impedance.

GENERATE MULTIPLE WAVEFORMS WITH COMPLEX TIMING

Advanced waveform generation and programming capabilities make it easy to compose a list or a sequence of 1 to 256 waveforms with total waveform length up to 16 Mpts/ch (128 Mpts/ch optional) and define the output sequence of these waveforms.

CREATE AND EDIT ARBITRARY WAVEFORMS ON THE AFG

The built-in ArbBuilder editing tool includes everything you need to create, edit, and transfer an ARB waveform without the need to connect to a PC.

DOUBLE PULSE TEST IN UNDER A MINUTE

Built-in double pulse test software lets you generate two waveforms with varying pulse widths (from 20 ns to 150 PS) in under a minute directly on the touchscreen display without an external PC application or manual programming.

Generate varying pulse widths in under a minute directly on the touchscreen display by add-on apps or the powerful ArbBuilder.

UPDATE YOUR BENCH WITH THE INNOVATIVE AFG31000 SERIES
Effective December 30, 2020, the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary Function Generators, with the exception of the AFG3011C with unique 20 Vp-p output, will no longer be available for sale. The following table matches the discontinued models with the suggested replacement from the AFG31000 Series.

AFG31000 Series upgrade options are available to extend bandwidth, add memory and enable waveform sequencing

Which products are tested using a -40°C to +150°C thermal shock chamber?

Automotive circuit boards, sensors, modules, and plastic components can all experience issues after repeated transitions between cold and hot environments. A thermal shock chamber operating from -40°C to +150°C enables the replication of these temperature fluctuations under controlled testing conditions.

The rigorous standards behind a multi-million-dollar MRI suite

An MRI system may be correctly installed and fully connected to the power supply, yet still encounter issues if the surrounding environment fails to meet technical specifications. Electromagnetic interference, RF shielding, power quality, grounding, temperature, humidity, and particulate levels are all factors that may require assessment, depending on the facility's design and the manufacturer's requirements.

Sinusoidal and Random Vibration: A Test Setup Guide for Industrial Engineers

During the operation of industrial machinery or the transportation of goods, persistent mechanical vibrations inevitably occur; these are a primary cause of material fatigue, loosened connections, and cracking in printed circuit boards (PCBs). To ensure product integrity before delivery to customers, R&D and QA/QC engineers must simulate these dynamic forces using vibration test systems.

Capacities of laboratory centrifuge tubes

Tubes with capacities of 0.2 ml, 1.5 ml, 15 ml, or 50 ml are commonly found in laboratories, yet each type is associated with specific sample categories and equipment configurations. DNA and RNA samples typically require small-volume microtubes; blood and cell samples often utilize 5 ml or 15 ml tubes; while large-volume processing workflows may require tubes of 50 ml, 100 ml, or greater capacity
