Description
Two generators on one bench mean two cables, two menus and one more thing to keep in step. The Tektronix AFG31102 function generator puts two outputs in a single box, each reaching 100 MHz sine. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so you can rent for a project or buy.
What a second output changes
A second channel on the Tektronix AFG31102 function generator suits tests that pair a stimulus with a related signal. Before you start, verify the synchronization and phase settings that the experiment needs. After that, set waveform, load, amplitude and offset for each channel separately.

Cabling a two-output test
Route CH1 through a suitable coaxial cable to the circuit input. Probe the circuit output and view it on an oscilloscope. Then wire the second channel to the point that needs the related signal, using matching cable. Confirm termination and common-mode limits in the manuals before you connect anything.
Ideas for dual-signal tests with the AFG31102
- Amplifier checks with a drive signal and a reference.
- Sensor-interface tests that need a second related signal.
- Low-voltage circuit evaluation where two inputs need stimulus.
Matching the second output to your plan
Write down what each output must do before you rent or buy. For example, note which channel drives the circuit and which supplies the related signal. Then list the frequency, amplitude and load for each. Because the quote follows your list, a clear plan saves time.
Quote route
To price a rental or a purchase, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your application, accessories and delivery site. Name any memory upgrade, because the 128 Mpoints option is not included by default. You can also browse other waveform and function generators, read the Tektronix website, or contact SMK Vietnam.
Two-output generator questions
How many outputs and what sine range?
Two outputs, each with continuous sine from 1 μHz to 100 MHz.
What should I verify before running both outputs?
Check the synchronization and phase settings your experiment needs, then the termination and amplitude limits.
How much memory comes standard?
16 Mpoints per channel in advanced mode. A 128 Mpoints per channel upgrade is optional.
