Operator's Manual Simple AFG Application
Input / Output Channels
The T3AWG2152 instrument has two independent analog channels. Each channel is a single-ended
output and it is provided on a BNC connector located on the front instrument panel (CH 1 OUTPUT, CH 2
OUTPUT).
The Marker Out is a digital output signal provided on a BNC connector located on the front instrument
panel (MARKER OUT). It is possible to choose in the software the channel it is related.
The Trigger In is an input signal provided on a BNC connector located on the front instrument panel
(TRIGGER IN). The Trigger In is a common input source for all the instrument channels.
Analog Output Channel
The term Output Channel, as used in this user manual, refers to the analog signal provided on the BNC
output connector located on the front instrument panel.
For some parameters the Simple AFG application supports different input formats. For example, it is
possible to specify the frequency of a waveform or alternatively it is possible to specify the
corresponding time period. It is possible to switch between two different parameter formats by just
touching the parameter label.
Main Channel Vertical Parameters
The Simple AFG application provides the control of the vertical (voltage) parameters of the Output
channel in the format Amplitude [Vpp] / Offset[V] or in the format Voltage High[V] / Voltage Low[V].
By touching the labels, you can switch between the two formats.
The output signal levels displayed by the Simple AFG UI text are calculated for the specified source and
load impedances that by default are 50Ohm. To change the expected load and source impedance please
refer to the Channel Settings.
Amplitude
It defines the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the waveform
expressed in Volts except for functions non-symmetrical with respect to 0V, such as Sinc and Gaussian,
where the amplitude may have a different meaning depending on the waveform type.
