The AWG2041 is the world's fastest and deepest memory Arbitrary Generator with its 1-GS/s sample rate and 1-MB execution memory (4 MB, Option 01). As with the entire 2000 Series family, the graphical user interface allows on-screen viewing of waveform editing and simplifies "what-if" test scenarios by easily allowing the creation of composite signals.
The standard AWG2041 configuration provides up to 2-V output or 4 V with the complementary output, each with 8-bit vertical resolution. Option 03 adds an 8-bit-wide ECL digital data port which can be used in conjunction with the marker outputs for data generation up to 10-bits wide at up to 1 GHz. The AWG2041 supports true Real-Time Sequencing capability similar to the AWG2021.
The real-time waveform sequencer extends the effective record length output to over a billion points! The built-in frequency domain (FFT) editor (Option 09) is a perfect addition for customers performing modulation simulations, filter design, or testing physical layer jitter tolerance, or for pulse-mask testing.
The AWG2041 easily simulates signals where fine-point definition and long records are required for simulating very complex waveform conditions. Direct waveform transfer capability makes the AWG2041 the perfect accessory for Tektronix DSOs.

OPERATING MODES
Continuous - Output waveform/sequence continuous at programmed waveshape, frequency, amplitude, and offset.
Triggered - Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger; generates a waveform/sequence only one time.
Burst - Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger; then generates a waveform/sequence up to 65,536 times.
Gated - Same as continuous mode except period is executed only for the duration of the gated signal until the sequence started is completed.
Waveform Advance - Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB, or manual trigger, then generates the waveform/sequence in the Sequence file. When the scan count reaches value, output stops and waits for next trigger.
Auto-Step - Continuously outputs the waveform/sequence in the Auto-Step file; the next Auto-Step Trigger (rear panel) advances the waveform/sequence.
Slave - Receives clock from a master arbitrary waveform generator for parallel operation.
