AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator User's Manual 51
Basic mode
The AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator provides both Basic and Advanced (Sequence)
modes.
Basic mode has a dedicated user interface similar to a traditional arbitrary function generator.
The generating function and arbitrary waveforms are controlled with a minimum number of
button clicks and a shallow menu hierarchy. You can switch from one frequency to another
without worrying about waveform length and sampling rate. This is particularly valuable when
working with analog designs like filter/amplifier frequency response characterization or digital
designs where the clock rate needs to change frequently.
Advanced mode allows you to generate long waveforms, or waveforms with complex timing.
Touchscreen swipe areas
The touchscreen swipe areas are available on multiple screens, including Basic, Advanced, and
ArbBuilder.
NOTE. You cannot access the swipe areas while on the Home screen or Utility screen.
See the following figures to see where you can swipe to gain access to additional features and
information.
