Arbitrary/Function Generator

AFG2021 Datasheet

The AFG2021 Arbitrary Function Generator gives you the power to create

the signals you need at an entry-level price. With 20 MHz bandwidth, 14-bit

resolution, and 250 MS/s sample rate, you can generate all manner of

signals -- from complex serial data streams to simple audio frequencies or

clock signals to the output of an airbag sensor during a crash. With

12 standard waveforms, modulation capability, and a built-in noise

generator, you can quickly create the signal you need to thoroughly

exercise your designs.
