General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injuries or
damages to the instrument and any product connected to it. To avoid potential
hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Only qualified technical personnel should service this instrument.
Avoid fire or open flame.
Use properly rated power line connections.
Use only the specified power line which has been approved by your local
regulatory agency.
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the protective ground conductor of the
power line. To avoid electric shock, the ground conductor must be connected
to the earth ground. Make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before
connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the signal wire correctly.
The potential of the signal wire ground is equal to the earth, therefore do not
connect the signal wire to a high voltage. Do not touch the exposed contacts or
components.
Observe all terminal ratings.
To avoid fire or electric shock, please observe all ratings and sign instructions
on the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual
carefully to gain more information about the ratings.
Do not operate with suspected failures.
If you suspect that the product is damaged, please let only qualified service
personnel check it.
Avoid circuit or wire exposure.
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep the surface of the instrument clean and dry.

Introduction of T3AFG40-80-120
The manual covers the following 3 models of the T3AFG Series
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators: T3AFG40, T3AFG80 and T3AFG120.
The T3AFG is a series of dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generators
with specifications of up to 120MHz maximum bandwidth, 1.2GSa/s sampling
rate and 16-bit vertical resolution. The proprietary architecture help to solve the
weaknesses inherent in traditional DDS generators when generating arbitrary,
square and pulse waveforms. Using these techniques the T3AFG provides users
with a variety of high fidelity, low jitter signals in order to meet the growing
requirements for a multitude of complex applications.
Key Features
Dual-channel, 120MHz maximum bandwidth, 20Vpp maximum output
amplitude, output with 80dB dynamic range
High-performance sampling system with 1.2GSa/s sampling rate and 16-
bit vertical resolution. No detail in your waveforms will be lost.
Innovative technology, based on a point-by-point architecture, supports
any 8pts~8Mpts Arb waveform with a sampling rate in range of
1μSa/s~75MSa/s
Innovative technology, capable of generating lower jitter Square or Pulse
waveforms, brings a wide range and extremely high precision in pulse width
and rise/fall times adjustment
A variety of analog and digital modulation types: AM DSB-AM FM PM
FSK ASK PSK and PWM
Sweep and Burst functions
