Accessing the Arbitrary Function Generator Like all options, the AFG-125/225 options can be accessed with the Option key. O Press the key and select AFG. The AFG-125/225 is now ready to be used. Basic Waveform Selection The AFG-125/225 options have five selectable basic waveforms.
Page 9
ARB Waveform The following will describe how to create and output an arbitrary waveform. Select the output channel by pressing Signal 1 Setup or Signal 2 Setup. Press ARB from the bottom menu. Press ARB on the side menu and toggle ARB On. Press Edit.
Page 10
Modulation The following will describe how to modulate a carrier waveform (shape) with the basic waveform shown previously. Select a basic waveform as shown previously. This will be used as the modulating (baseband) signal. Press MOD from the bottom menu. Press MOD on the side menu and toggle MOD On.
Page 11
Burst Modulation The following will describe how to create a burst waveform. Press Burst from the bottom menu. Press Burst on the side menu and toggle Burst On. Press N Cycle set the burst parameters. Choose Infinite for an infinite number of burst cycles or press Cycle to set the number of burst cycles for each period.

To toggle the load impedance between 50Ω and High Z, press Load. For basic waveforms, press Phase to set the output phase. On dual channel models, both output channels can be phase-synchronized by pressing the S_Phase soft-key. State Display The State Display function gives an overview of the arbitrary function generator settings for both channels.
