Watch InstaView™ in action.
Verify your waveform at the DUT
Patented InstaView™ technology enables you to view the real waveform at the device under test (DUT) directly on the AFG without the need for an oscilloscope, probes, or additional equipment, saving test time and eliminating the risk of unmatched impedance in your test results.
Double pulse test in under a minute
The AFG31000 is the first function generator on the market that includes built-in double pulse test software. Now you can generate two waveforms with varying pulse widths (from 20 ns to 150 µs) in under a minute directly on the touchscreen display. No need for an external PC application or manual programming.
Measure switching parameters and evaluate the dynamic behaviors of MOSFET and IGBT power devices.

High-fidelity signals with advanced mode
Generate long, precise waveforms in continuous mode with lengths up to 16 Mpts per channel right out-of-the-box. Variable sampling clock technology guarantees you will never lose any waveform data. Available upgrades let you take your testing to the next level and build and program complex waveforms at one-tenth the cost of a traditional AWG.
With optional upgrades you get:
- Memory extension to 128 Mpts per channel (option MEM)
- Sequence/triggered/gated modes (option SEQ) with up to 25 entries and controls for: branching, repeat, wait, jump, go-to, external trigger in, manual trigger, timed trigger, and SCPI command, for building long waveforms with complex and flexible timing.
Simplified ARB waveform creation
The built-in arb editing tool, ArbBuilder, includes all operations to create, edit and transfer an ARB waveform, eliminating the need to connect or transfer files to a PC. The amplitude and offset data is stored in the waveform, removing the need to adjust the settings after loading a normalized arb.
Watch how easily you can create any waveform using ArbBuilder™.
