IMPEDANCE SWITCH & ON-SCREEN HELP
The AFG-3000 presents four ways to generate custom arbitrary waveforms from direct front panel operation,
PC software, a CSV file loading, and GDS-2000 series oscilloscope input.

EASY OPERATION AND FLEXIBLE ARBITRARY WAVEFORM EDITING
Everything from waveform editing, I/O configuring, and
panel setting storage and recall can be completed directly
through front panel operation. Front panel operation allows
users to edit arbitrary waveform, which is correspondingly
updated on the screen, a feature of "What You See is What
You Get".
AFG-3000 supports CSV file editing for arbitrary waveform
generation. The CSV file can be created in many ways,
including using EXCEL spreadsheet, PC client software, front
panel editing or math computing software. The computing
result of math software, Octave for example, can be saved
into CSV file. Edited CSV file can be downloaded from either
USB flash or PC to AFG-3000 for arbitrary waveform output.
A PC software for AFG-3000 waveform editing is supported.
The software contains not only waveform drawing tools but
also a wide variety of waveform editing functions, such as
waveform arithmetic operations. The most commonly used
waveforms, including Rayleigh, Gaussian, Normal Noise,
Pseudo Ternary, Bipolar AMI, Manchester, Differential
Manchester, RS-232, and NRZ etc., are available in the library
for user to tailor specific waveforms as needed.
AFG-3000 allows users to select the suitable impedance
between 50 ohm and High-Z, ensuring a right impedance
compatibility.
The built-in On-Screen Help allows users to understand
AFG-3000 operations and the definition of each function
key.
The AFG-3000 can be directly connected to GW Instek GDS-1000, GDS-
2000 and GDS-3000 Serials DSO with USB cable for waveform data
download. Under "DSO Link" mode of AFG-3000, the DSO will transfer
the captured waveform data from its memory to AFG-3000 for creating
an approximative waveform output.
