Product Overview

The Tektronix AWG520 Arbitrary Waveform Generator has a unique design which combines a graphical editing display with powerful output capabilities to simplify the creation of arbitrary and complex waveforms and enable easy on-screen waveform editing. The Tektronix AWG520 has built-in intuitive and powerful features and you can easily develop and edit custom waveforms. Option 03 adds an independent 10-bit-wide digital data port that can be used in conjunction with marker outputs for data generation up to 14-bits wide at up to 1 GHz (14-bits, AWG520). Direct waveform transfer capability makes the AWG520 the perfect complement to selected Tektronix oscilloscopes.
