AWG2021 User Manual
An FFT editor and a convolution waveform editor are provided with AWG2021
units that include Option 09. These editors support frequency domain editing and
waveform convolution calculations.
As a function generator, the AWG2021 can generate sine waves, triangle waves,
square waves, ramp waves, and pulse waves. It can set the frequency, amplitude,
offset, polarity, and other factors for each of these waveforms independently, for
each channel.
The AWG2021 has a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and non-volatile memory for
storing created waveform data and parameter settings. Each of these storage
devices can store the files created with the editors.
You control this instrument by way of its front panel hierarchical menu display
system or its rear panel GPIB or RS-232-C interfaces. (Instruments with
Option 03 or Option 04 don’t have the RS-232-C interface installed.)
Waveforms can be transferred directly through the GPIB interface from a digital
storage oscilloscope. Such direct waveform transfers allow for many types of
applications with other measurement equipment and computers. Supported
equipment includes our major digital storage oscilloscopes as well as the digital
storage oscilloscopes of other leading manufacturers.
Initial Inspection
Before unpacking the AWG2021 from its shipping carton, inspect it for signs of
external damage. If the carton is damaged, notify the carrier. The carton contains
the basic instrument and its standard accessories. Refer to the Standard Accesso-
ries list in Appendix A.
This instrument was thoroughly inspected for mechanical and electrical defects
before shipment. It should be free of mars or scratches. To confirm this, inspect
the instrument for physical damage incurred in transit and test instrument
functionality by following the Operating Examples in this manual. You can also
perform a full Performance Verification as listed in the Appendix C. If a
discrepancy is found, contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative.
NOTE. At installation time, save the shipping carton and packaging materials for
repackaging in case shipment becomes necessary.
