3. Arbitrary Function Generator (Optional)
The MDO4000C contains an optional integrated arbitrary 
function generator (option MDO4AFG), perfect for simulating 
sensor signals within a design or adding noise to signals to 
perform margin testing.
The integrated function generator provides output of 
predefined waveforms up to 50 MHz for sine, square, pulse, 
ramp/triangle, DC, noise, sin(x)/x (Sinc), Gaussian, Lorentz, 
exponential rise/fall, Haversine and cardiac.

The arbitrary waveform generator provides 128 k points of 
record for storing waveforms from the analog input, a saved 
internal file location, a USB mass storage device, or from 
an external PC. Once a waveform is in the edit memory of 
the arbitrary waveform generator, it can be modified via an 
on-screen editor and then replicated out of the generator. 
The MDO4000C is compatible with Tektronix’ ArbExpress 
PC-based waveform creation and editing software, making 
creation of complex waveforms fast and easy. Transfer wave-
form files to your MDO4000C edit memory via USB or LAN or 
using a USB mass storage device to be output from the AFG 
in the oscilloscope.
