Overview

An FFT editor and a convolution waveform editor are provided with AWG2021 units that include Option 09. These editors support frequency domain editing and waveform convolution calculations.

As a function generator, the AWG2021 can generate sine waves, triangle waves, square waves, ramp waves, and pulse waves. It can set the frequency, amplitude, offset, polarity, and other factors for each of these waveforms independently, for each channel.

The AWG2021 has a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and non-volatile memory for storing created waveform data and parameter settings. Each of these storage devices can store the files created with the editors.

You control this instrument by way of its front panel hierarchical menu display system or its rear panel GPIB or RS-232-C interfaces. (Instruments with Option 03 or Option 04 don't have the RS-232-C interface installed.)

Waveforms can be transferred directly through the GPIB interface from a digital storage oscilloscope. Such direct waveform transfers allow for many types of applications with other measurement equipment and computers. Supported equipment includes our major digital storage oscilloscopes as well as the digital storage oscilloscopes of other leading manufacturers.

Initial Inspection

Before unpacking the AWG2021 from its shipping carton, inspect it for signs of external damage. If the carton is damaged, notify the carrier. The carton contains the basic instrument and its standard accessories. Refer to the Standard Accessories list in Appendix A.

This instrument was thoroughly inspected for mechanical and electrical defects before shipment. It should be free of mars or scratches. To confirm this, inspect the instrument for physical damage incurred in transit and test instrument functionality by following the Operating Examples in this manual. You can also perform a full Performance Verification as listed in the Appendix C. If a discrepancy is found, contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative.

NOTE. At installation time, save the shipping carton and packaging materials for repackaging in case shipment becomes necessary.
