AWG7000 series arbitrary waveform generators

Tektronix, www.tektronix.com

The AWG7000 series consists of four models, with the top model capable of producing waveforms at 20 Gsamples/s with a 5.8-GHz bandwidth. That’s high enough to simulate wireless signals and many serial data streams. All models in the series feature a 10.4-in. display, so you can see a detailed representation of the analog output signal. You also can capture signals from a Tektronix oscilloscope and replay them.

All models come with 64 Mbytes of waveform memory, but you can use loops and branches to produce longer waveforms. An external trigger lets you start a waveform, and a conditional trigger lets the instrument jump to a particular signal pattern stored in memory. Each AWG7000 generator includes a removable hard drive and USB ports for secure data storage.
