GW Instek AFG-4280 function generator
Details
The GW Instek AFG-4280 is a dual-channel function generator from the GW-Instek AFG-4000 series with a maximum bandwidth of 80MHz and a sample rate of 500MSa/s. The dual-channels allow for settings such as frequency and amplitude coupling and tracking. As part of the mid-level models of the GW Instek AFG-4000 series, it features a very high resolution of 16 bits and a large memory depth of 10Mpts per channel. The AFG-4280 also has multiple waveform outputs such as sine, triangle, square, ramp, pulse, noise, arb, and harmonic. The generator is multifunctional and includes many features such as a sweep, burst, counter function, and multiple analog and digital modulation modes. The AFG-4280 also has a waveform editing function with 146 arbitrary built-in waveforms for editing and output. The device features a 8" touchscreen LCD, making waveforms easily readable and control convenient. Furthermore, the device features USB host/device and LAN interfaces for communication.
