Teledyne LeCroy T3AFG5 Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator, 5 MHz

The Teledyne LeCroy T3AFG5 is a single-channel function and arbitrary waveform generator delivering 5 MHz bandwidth with 125 MSa/s sampling rate and 14-bit vertical resolution. It produces standard waveforms—sine, square, ramp, pulse, and noise—plus 46 built-in arbitrary waveforms and user-defined signals with 16 kpts memory depth. Output reaches 10 Vpp into 50 Ohms or 20 Vpp into high impedance. The instrument supports advanced modulation including AM, DSB-AM, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, and PWM, with full sweep and burst capabilities. Sweep modes cover linear and logarithmic configurations from 1 ms to 500 s, while burst operation supports N-cycle and gated modes with periods from 1 µs to 1000 s. A 3.5″ color LCD display with 320 x 240 pixel resolution provides intuitive control. Dual USB interfaces enable host and device connectivity. Powered by 100–240 V AC supply, the compact unit measures 229 mm × 105 mm × 281 mm and weighs 3.63 kg, making it suitable for lab benches, production test environments, and educational settings.
