Tektronix, Inc. released a new software plugin for its AFG31000 arbitrary function generator that can perform double pulse testing in less than a minute. Double pulse testing is typically used in the ...

While the vast majority of arbitrary/function generators provide a maximum of 10 V p-p amplitude into 50-ohm loads, a number of applications – particularly in automotive and power electronics design – ...

The compact size of the AFG31000 belies the four innovations it houses: a big multi-touch display, waveform monitoring, waveform sequencing, and waveform generation. The test industry is sprinting to ...

Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...

If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you ...
