Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG-100)

Application

• The function generator AFG 100, controlled by a microprocessor, is a compact signal source.
  The AFG 100 uses the DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) method and generates the following wave forms:
  * Sinusoidal and square-wave signals in the frequency range of 0.01 Hz to 12.5 MHz
  * Triangular and sawtooth-shaped signals from 0.01 Hz to 100 kHz
  * Arbitrary signals with a sample rate up to 33.33 MSa/s and with a vertical resolution of 10 bits
• The amplitude and the dc voltage offset of the output signal can be adjusted within a wide range. The AFG 100 is fitted with a sweep function. Furthermore, a square-wave signal (sync signal) with a CMOS/TTL level can be picked off.
• All functions and measuring ranges can be set via menus by means of four buttons and a rotary switch. The chosen parameters of the output signal are clearly depicted on a two-line alphanumeric LC matrix display.
• The instrument is equipped, as standard, with serial interfaceRS-232C for communication with a PC.
  * All functions and parameters can be set.
  * The settings and conditions of the AFG 100 can be set.
