The AFG-2112 from GW Instek is an one channel 12 MHz function generator that has good properties. This function generator can generate signals with 4k points on 10 bits vertical resolution. In addition, the duty cycle of the square wave signals can be varied from 1% to 99%. The fact that the duty cycle is so widely adjustable does not often occur on function generators. The advantage of this is that it is possible to generate pulse signals in this way. In addition, the function generator has a built-in frequency counter that can measure up to 150 MHz.
The function generator provides up to 20 Vpp output amplitude and a 0.1 Hz resolution. In addition, the 2112 can perform multiple modulations on an AM/FM/PM/FSK signal. The possibilities with this function generator are extensive.
The 3.5" TFT screen of the AFG-2112 displays the waveform, frequency, amplitude, offset and other important settings simultaneously, whichs makes the operation very easy.
The AFG-2112 function generator can also be connected to a computer via USB. With the supplied software, arbitrary signals can be created which can then be generated on the generator. It is also possible to upload CSV files to the device and perform complex Math functions. These waveforms can be stored on the function generator in one of the 10 memory slots.
