Description
You set 1 V on the generator, yet the device sees 2 V. That classic mismatch wastes hours on many benches. A Tektronix AFG31052 function generator rental tackles it with InstaView, which shows the real waveform at the output connector. So you catch setup errors before they reach your data.
How InstaView changes bench work
A normal generator shows the waveform you programmed. However, the load can change what really arrives. InstaView reads the signal at the connector and displays it live, so you do not need a scope just to confirm the stimulus. This helps most with unusual loads, such as sensors, piezo parts and filter inputs.
Core features
- Two independent outputs with 50 MHz sine bandwidth.
- 14-bit vertical resolution for smooth, detailed waveforms.
- Arbitrary memory of up to 128 Mpts in advanced mode.
- A built-in sequencer for multi-step stimulus patterns.
- A 9-inch capacitive touch screen.
Together, these let you build a test pattern quickly, then repeat it the same way on every run.
Uses for a Tektronix AFG31052 function generator rental
Automation teams use it to fake sensor and encoder signals while they commission a line. Design engineers drive filters and amplifiers during validation. Also, audio and ultrasound makers generate test patterns, while production teams use it to stand in for a failed generator on a tester. In each case, the work has an end date, so a rental makes more sense than a purchase.
Pair it with a scope
For a full stimulus-response bench, rent it with a Tektronix oscilloscope. Then the generator drives the device, and the scope records the response on the same time base.
Choosing the right generator
Two channels at 50 MHz cover most sensor, audio, control and low-speed digital work. However, if you need faster edges or higher frequencies, ask Lost in HCM about a wider model. Likewise, if you only need one channel, say so, because a simpler unit may cost less.
Delivery and return
When it arrives, power it up and check both outputs on a scope or with InstaView. Also check the BNC connectors for loose shells. Before you return it, delete your custom waveforms and sequences from memory, since they may contain product data.
