AFG showing the nominal waveform with InstaView
™
turned off
With the patented InstaView
™
technology, the AFG31000 series can
measure and show the waveform at the DUT, instead of just the nominal
waveform set on the AFG, without any other instrument. All you need is just
the cable between the AFG output and the DUT, which has already been
there. The shown waveform changes in real time along with the settings
like frequency, amplitude and waveform shape changes, or the impedance
change at the device under test. The InstaView
™
helps users to eliminate
the uncertainty and risk caused by the unmatched impedance without extra
cost or effort.
The following picture shows the same test setup, with the exception the
InstaView
™
is turned on. Instead of the “nominal” square waveform, it
displays the waveform at the DUT.

Intuitive User Interface Makes the Test Job
Enjoyable
The large 9-inch capacitive touch screen displays all related settings and
parameters on the same page. Like what you do on their smartphones or
tablets, users can click or swipe on the screen to browse, locate and
change the parameters easily. Or they can swipe from top/bottom of the
screen to callout short-cut menus of frequently-used functions or settings,
instead of going back and forth in a comprehensive menu structure in
before. This makes the operations more intuitive and much quicker than
ever, and save users’ time learning and using the tool to let them focus on
the jobs on hands.
At the same time, front panel buttons and rotary knob are kept, in order to
accommodate the needs of those who prefer sticking to the traditional ways
of operation that they have been using for long time.
