Slotting between existing 100 and 240MHz models in the Tektronix AFG3000C line-up, the AFG3151C and AFG3152C are said to deliver 25% more bandwidth and 59% more output zone with ±5Vdc offset. The AFG3000 Series also feature a user interface that is claimed to show more information at a single glance, which helps boost productivity by allowing users to focus more on the task at hand.
Michael Ewald, general manager, Bench Products Division at Tektronix said: "We are giving our customers more options to select the appropriate bandwidth level for their signal generation needs while also lowering their costs compared to other alternatives on the market."
Current complex designs require a variety of stimulus signals during test. The AFG3000C Series include 12 standard waveforms, arbitrary waveform capability, and signal impairment options to support a range of application needs with one instrument. Included ArbExpress software allows waveforms to be created from any Tektronix oscilloscope, or defined by standard functions, equation editor and waveform math.
