Arbitrary/Function Generator Features & Benefits ■ 20 MHz sine, 10 MHz square and pulse waveforms provide coverage for your most common applications ■ 250 MS/s sampling rate and 14-bit vertical resolution enable the creation ■ The innovative Ul reduces setup and evaluation time with direct access to frequently used functions and parameters ■ The internal 4 x 128 kS memory and the USB memory expansion capability provide substantial capacity for defining complex waveforms ■ USB remote control port and USB flash drive port are included. GPIB and LAN interfaces are available as an option ■ Built-in Modulation, Noise Generator, Burst, and Sweep modes for greater versatility ■ Built-in waveforms provide quick access to commonly used signals ■ Large 3.5 inch color screen displays both graphical and numeric waveform information simultaneously ■ Menu and online help in 8 languages ■ 2U height and half-rack width fits both benchtop and rack-mounted ■ Free ArbExpress software makes waveform editing and downloading extremely easy ■ Free SignalExpress software combines Tektronix bench instruments into a low-cost solution for automatic testing ■ Electronic test and design

Superior Performance at an Affordable Price Most electronic devices, circuits, and systems are designed to handle some form of signal. These signals can be simple like an audio frequency or clock signal or more complex like a serial data stream or the output of an airbag sensor during a crash. With 20 MHz bandwidth, 14-bit resolution, and 250 MS/s sample rate, the AFG2021 Arbitrary Function Generator can create both simple and complex signals at an entry-level price. With 12 standard waveforms, modulation capability, and a built-in noise generator you can quickly create the signal you need...

Arbitrary/Function Generator — AFG2021 Increase Productivity with SignalExpress Every AFG2021 ships with a free copy of the Tektronix Edition of National Instrument’s LabVIEW SignalExpress software for basic instrument control, data logging, and analysis. SignalExpress supports the range of Tektronix bench instruments enabling you to connect your entire test bench. You can then access each instrument from one intuitive software interface. This allows you to automate complex measurements requiring multiple instruments, log data for an extended period of time, time-correlate data from...
