AFG31000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generator

A replacement for AFG3000 Series

The Tektronix AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/ Function Generators are being discontinued and replaced by the AFG31000 Series Arbitrary/ Function Generators. The high-performance AFG31000 Series offers built-in waveform generation application, patented real-time wave monitoring, and a modern user interface in a powerful, affordable, and easy-to-use AFG.

The large capacitive touchscreen and built-in ArbBuilder tool enable users to create and edit arbitrary waveforms right on the instrument.

SAVE TIME AND EFFORT WITH THE NINE-INCH TOUCHSCREEN

The AFG31000 Series features the industry's largest AFG touchscreen; pinch, zoom, and scroll just like a smart device to easily locate settings and parameters on the simple menu or shortcuts to frequently-used settings.

VERIFY YOUR WAVEFORM AT THE DEVICE UNDER TEST

Patented InstaViewTM technology lets you see the actual waveform at the device under test (DUT) in realtime - without an oscilloscope or probe - eliminating any uncertainty typically caused by mismatched impedance.

GENERATE MULTIPLE WAVEFORMS WITH COMPLEX TIMING

Advanced waveform generation and programming capabilities make it easy to compose a list or a sequence of 1 to 256 waveforms with total waveform length up to 16 Mpts/ch (128 Mpts/ch optional) and define the output sequence of these waveforms.

CREATE AND EDIT ARBITRARY WAVEFORMS ON THE AFG

The built-in ArbBuilder editing tool includes everything you need to create, edit, and transfer an ARB waveform without the need to connect to a PC.

DOUBLE PULSE TEST IN UNDER A MINUTE

Built-in double pulse test software lets you generate two waveforms with varying pulse widths (from 20 ns to 150 PS) in under a minute directly on the touchscreen display without an external PC application or manual programming.

Generate varying pulse widths in under a minute directly on the touchscreen display by add-on apps or the powerful ArbBuilder.

UPDATE YOUR BENCH WITH THE INNOVATIVE AFG31000 SERIES
Effective December 30, 2020, the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary Function Generators, with the exception of the AFG3011C with unique 20 Vp-p output, will no longer be available for sale. The following table matches the discontinued models with the suggested replacement from the AFG31000 Series.

AFG31000 Series upgrade options are available to extend bandwidth, add memory and enable waveform sequencing

Which Vacuum Pump Should You Choose for a Microbiology Lab to Avoid Affecting Samples?

Vacuum pumps are utilized in a wide range of microbiology laboratory procedures, from membrane filtration and the aspiration of supernatants following centrifugation to sample concentration and the support of negative-pressure systems. Selecting the appropriate pump not only ensures more stable operational processes but also minimizes the risk of sample contamination, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the equipment's lifespan

QCVN 25:2025/BKHCN Takes Effect: Do Businesses Need to Prepare Electrical Safety Testing Equipment?

Electrical safety is consistently one of the primary criteria evaluated before electrical or electronic equipment—or industrial components—are released to the market. A product may operate reliably yet still fail to meet requirements if its insulation lacks sufficient durability, its grounding resistance exceeds permissible limits, or leakage current occurs during operation.

What Is the Standard 3-Phase Voltage? How to Read Cabinet-Mounted Meters Without Errors

Voltmeters are almost invariably found on the panels of electrical cabinets in factories, power stations, or generator systems. A glance lasting just a few seconds allows an operator to determine whether the power supply is stable or showing signs of abnormality. However, not everyone understands the significance of the displayed readings, particularly regarding three-phase electrical systems.

Distinguishing between ARI’s Hypot, HypotUltra, and HypotMax: Which device is right for your factory?

Few people realize that the concept of the "Hipot Test"—or electrical safety testing—has long existed within the electrical equipment manufacturing industry. Driven by the growing need to verify the voltage withstand capabilities of conductors, motors, and electrical devices, the industry required a robust and virtually fail-safe method to detect insulation weaknesses before products reached the market.
