Overview
About AFG-3000 Series
The AFG-3000 Series delivers arbitrary function generation up to 80 MHz with 16-bit vertical resolution, 200 MSa/s sampling, and 1M point deep arbitrary waveform memory. GW Instek’s Direct Waveform Reconstruction (DWR) technology ensures faithful output of complex waveforms by minimizing interpolation artifacts, making the series particularly effective for medical and automotive electronic waveform reproduction. The 4.3-inch high-resolution LCD provides clear waveform visualization and parameter monitoring.

Standard waveforms including sine, square, triangle, ramp, pulse, and noise cover routine stimulus needs, while the 1M point arbitrary memory accommodates long, complex waveforms for medical device testing, automotive bus simulation, and power electronics transient analysis. Built-in AM, FM, PM, PWM, FSK, sweep, and burst modes eliminate the need for external modulation sources. The AFG-3032 and AFG-3022 add I/Q baseband output for wireless communication signal generation and receiver testing.
USB and LAN interfaces (GPIB optional) enable remote control and integration into automated test systems, while the 1 µHz frequency resolution provides the fine tuning required for precision measurement applications.

GW Instek Insights
Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
