Tektronix has launched the AFG1022 Arbitrary/Function Generator for $715 – targeting educational institutions.
The AFG1022 integrates seamlessly with the new TekSmartLab wireless lab instrument management solution.
“Tektronix believes that a rich hands-on experience dramatically improves education outcomes,” said Michael Ewald, general manager, Bench Products, Tektronix. “We are working to meet the needs of colleges and universities including price-performance on instrumentation, integrated courseware and ease of administration.”
Compared to scope-based signal generators or stand alone AFGs in its price class, the AFG1022 offers better performance and flexibility, said Tektronix.
Key performance specifications include dual-channel, 25MHz bandwidth with 1mVpp to 10Vpp output, 14-bit vertical resolution and 1µHz frequency resolution. It provides a 125 MS/s sample rate along with 64 MB of built-in non-volatile memory and USB memory expansion for user-defined waveforms, said Tektronix.
The test instrument offers 50 built-in standard function and arbitrary waveforms with continuous, modulation, sweep and burst modes to cover almost all the test requirements found in basic education labs. A built-in 200 MHz counter with 6-digit resolution offers precise way of performing frequency, period, pulse width, and duty cycle measurements.
The AFG1022 incorporates an intuitive user interface with a 3.95-in TFT color display, shortcut buttons and rotary knob for quick setting adjustments. Its compact form factor saves valuable bench space.
