Operating basics
Quick Tip
To output conti
nuous waveforms by synchronous operation, select External
as the trigger source for the master unit to stop signal generation. Select
Inf-Cycles as the burst count for both master and slave units. Change the
trigger source of the master unit to Internal to restart the signal generation.
USB Memory
A USB memory connector is provided with all the Tektronix AFG3000 Series
Arbitrary Function Generators to allow you to perform the following tasks:
Save or recall user-defined waveforms to/from a USB memory
Save or recall setups to/from files on a USB memory
Update your instrument firmware
Save a sc
reen image
CAUTION. When you attach a USB memory to the instrument, a caution message
appears on the screen. Do not remove the USB memory until the message
disappears.
If you remove the USB memory while this caution message is displayed, it may
cause damage to the instrument.
Read more about s aving/recalling user-defined waveforms. (See page 47,
Save/Recall Arbitrary Waveforms.). Read more about saving/recalling instrument
setups.(Seepage80,Save/Recall Instrument Setup.). Read more about updating
your instrument. (See page 16, Update your instrument firmware.)
Qui
ck Tips
Use a USB memory with cross section smaller than 20 mm x 12 mm to
connect to the AFG3000 series front panel USB connector. To connect a
larger U SB memory, use an extension cord.
The AFG3000 series instruments support a USB memory with a FAT12,
FAT16, or FAT32 fi le system.
NOTE. Emissions may exceed the specification limit if a USB cable is p laced in the
front-panel USB memory c onnector. Use only appropriate USB memory devices.
