Applications

The AWG2005 offers 20 MS/s and 64 k deep memory. As with the entire AWG2000 Series, the graphical user interface allows on-screen viewing of waveform editing, simplifying "what if" test scenarios by allowing the easy creation of composite signals.

The standard AWG2005 configuration provides two independent 10 V outputs or a third and fourth 10 V output (Option 02) each with 12-Bits vertical resolution. Option 04 adds TTL digital levels with (2) 12-Bit, 100 MS/s ports and combines with the marker outputs to provide a total of 28-Bits wide.

The built-in sweep generator (Option 05) provides even more flexibility by offering linear and logarithmic swept frequencies, but even more significantly the AWG2005 has user definable sweep capability. This allows creation of digitally modulated signals at IF frequencies.

The built-in frequency domain (FFT) editor (Option 09) is a perfect addition for customers performing proprietary or standard I & Q modulation simulations, filter design or in circuit testing of physical layer. Real time waveform sequencing extends the effective record length output to over a billion points!

The AWG2005 easily simulates signals where moderate point definition and long records are required for simulating complex waveform conditions. Direct waveform transfer capability makes the AWG2005 the perfect complement to selected Tektronix oscilloscopes.

Arbitrary Waveforms

Execution Memory - Waveform: 64 k (65,535) for each channel. Marker: 64 k for each channel. Waveform Size: 16 to 64 k in multiples of 16.

Real-time Sequence Memory - 8 k individual waveforms.

Loop Counter - Waveform: 1 to 64 k repeats. Sequence: 1 to 64 k repeats.

Catalog Memory Clock

Frequency Range - 0.01 Hz to 20 MHz.

Operating Modes

Continuous - Output waveform/sequence continuous at programmed parameters.

Triggered - Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger; generates a waveform/sequence only one time.

Gated - Same as continuous mode except period is executed only for the duration of the gated signal until the sequence is completed.

Seq/Wfm Advance - Continuous: Continuously outputs the waveform/sequence in the Sequence file. The next trigger advances to the next waveform/sequence. Master/Slave Operation.

Step - Output quiescent until triggered; then execute the next waveform/sequence in the Sequence file. When the loop count reaches its value, output stops and waits for next trigger.

Auto Step - Continuous: Continuously outputs the waveform/sequence in the Auto Step file. Step: Output quiescent until triggered.

Master - Provides Point Rate Clock and Trigger to a slave arbitrary waveform generator for phase synchronous parallel operation.

Slave - Receives Clock and Trigger from a system clock for parallel operation.
