Protect your instrument from misuse


Check input and output When connecting a cable, be sure to distinguish the input connector from the
connectors output connectors to avoid making wrong connection.

1. Locate the channel output


on the front panel. Out1
means CH1 output and
Out2 means CH2 output.
2. Locate the Ref Clk Out
on the rear panel.

3. Locate the Ref


Clk/Counter In, Ext
Trig/Burst/Fsk In and Ext
Mod In connectors on the
rear panel.

CAUTION. Do not short output pins or apply external voltages to Output


connectors. The instrument might be damaged.

CAUTION. Do not apply excessive inputs over +5 V to Trigger Input connector.


The instrument might be damaged.

AFG1022 Quick Start User Manual 7


Getting started

General care
Protect the instrument from adverse weather conditions. The instrument is not
waterproof. Do not store or leave the instrument where the display will be exposed
to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the instrument, do not expose it to sprays,


liquids, or solvents.

Preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance mainly consists of periodic cleaning. Periodic cleaning
reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the instrument as
needed, based on the operating environment. Dirty conditions might require more
frequent cleaning than computer room conditions.

Clean the flat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a cleanroom
wipe. If the display is very dirty, moisten the wipe with distilled water or a 75%
isopropyl alcohol solution and gently rub the digital surface. Avoid excess force or
you might damage the display surface.

Clean the exterior surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft bristle brush. If dirt
remains, use a cloth dampened with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. A swab is
useful for cleaning in narrow spaces around the controls and connectors. Do not
use abrasive compounds on any part of the instrument.

To avoid damaging the instrument, follow these precautions:


Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning and use
only enough to dampen the cloth or swab.
Do not wash the front-panel power switch. Cover the switch while washing the
instrument.
Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol
solution as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they can damage the instrument. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.

Update your instrument firmware


You can use the front-panel USB connector to update your instrument firmware
using a USB memory device.

CAUTION. Updating your instrument firmware is a sensitive operation which


might damage your instrument if you do not follow all instructions carefully. To
prevent damage to the instrument, do not remove the USB memory device or power
off the instrument during the update process.

NOTE: The screen images of the following procedure are provided as an example.
The actual screen display might be different depending on your instrument
configuration.

1. Push the front-panel


Utility button to display
the Utility menu and
view the currently
installed firmware version
on the display screen.
2. From a PC, visit
www.tektronix.com and

usually takes approximately
under a minute. Do not remove
the USB memory during the
update process.

NOTE: If you accidentally


removed the USB memory
during the update process, do
not power off the instrument.
Repeat the installation
process from step 3.

10. Wait until the instrument


displays a message
saying that the operation
is complete.
NOTE: If the operation
complete message is not
displayed, do not power off
the instrument. Repeat the

Generate a burst waveform


The instrument can output a burst using standard waveforms such as sine,
square, ramp, and pulse, or arbitrary waveforms. The instrument allows you
to use the following two types of burst mode:

Triggered burst mode. A specified number (burst count) of waveform


cycles are output when the instrument receives a trigger input from the
internal trigger source, an external trigger source, a remote command, or
the Manual Trigger button.

Gated burst mode. The instrument outputs a continuous waveform


when an effective gate signal is applied externally, when the Manual
Trigger button is depressed, when a remote command is applied, or
during 50% of the selected internal trigger interval.

AFG1022 Quick Start User Manual 41


Operating basics

To generate a triggered
burst waveform
Burst function is only available on CH1. Burst function generates versatile
waveforms in burst. A burst can last for certain times of waveform cycle
(Triggered Burst), or to be controlled by external gating signals (Gated Burst).
Burst can be applied to sine, square, ramp, pulse, and arb waveforms (You

number of waveform
cycles (from 1 to
50,000) in each burst.

WARNING. Disconnect the line cord at the rear panel and remove all test leads
connected to the instrument before replacing the line fuse. Failure to do so could
expose the operator to hazardous voltages that could result in personal injury or
death.

Use only the correct fuse type. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
