Performance and features

1 μHz to 25 MHz or 60 MHz sine waveform range, with 12-digit or
1 μHz resolution and a ±1 ppm drift high stability time base, provides
great signal fidelity in the frequency domain. With 1 mVp-p to 10 Vp-p
output amplitude range, and 14-bit or 1 mVp-p resolution over the whole
frequency range, there is no need to compromise between output
amplitude and frequency any more.
The AFG1000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator provides a
waveform generation tool with the best price performance ratio. It Four different run modes cover most use cases with a cost effective
