Overview

This section describes the features of the AWG2021, initial inspection, and start up.

Product Description

The AWG2021 is a portable arbitrary waveform generator capable of generating both arbitrary and standard function waveforms.

This arbitrary waveform generator provides these major features:

￿custom waveforms for simulation and testing

￿waveforms that can not be generated with function generators

As an arbitrary waveform generator, this instrument has a clock frequency of

10 Hz to 250 MHz, an independent 256 Kword, 12-bit internal memory for each channel (the second output channel is optional), and an output amplitude to

5 Vp-p(into 50 W). It can also generate two one-bit marker outputs which can be placed anywhere within the 256K location memory, corresponding to each arbitrary output channel.

There are several options available for the AWG2021, including two-channel output, ECL or TTL digital data output, and FFT and convolution waveform editor. These options allow the AWG2021 to handle a wide range of applications.

This instrument has four editors for making waveform files. Each editor is equipped with a variety of editing functions, as described below.

1.Waveform Editor creates waveform data. This editor can display its data in three formats: graphical, table, and timing, and the data can be edited in the format appropriate for the application. Furthermore, the waveform editor can edit up to three waveform files at the same time, thus easing the creation of related waveform files.

2.Sequence Editor creates sequences of waveforms by combining waveform files created with the waveform editor.

3.Equation Editor creates files with equations and compiles them into waveform files.

4.Autostep Editor programs waveform files, including output conditions for each channel, in steps.
