AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual 3-1
Theory of Operation
This section describes the electrical operation of the AFG3000 Series
Arbitrary/Function Generators to the module level. It describes the basic operation
of each functional circuit block shown in Figure 3-1. The descriptions for the one
and two channel units, and the color and monochrome units are slightly different.
Overview
AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators provide seven models with
different frequency and number of channels. Each model consists of two major
sections: the platform section and the generator section. The platform section is
common to each model.
The combination of circuit boards in each model is shown in Table 3-1.
