The Tektronix AWG615 Arbitrary Waveform Generator delivers world-class signal fidelity at 2.7 GS/s to solve ever-increasing measurement challenges. The new two box synchronous operation function supports 2ch 2.7 GS/s solution.

The AWG615 combines world-class signal fidelity with high-speed mixed signal simulation, a powerful sequencing capability and graphical user interface with flexible waveform editor, to solve the toughest measurement challenges in the disk drive, communications and semiconductor design/test industries.

The built-in signal applications enable you to easily create standard waveforms for disk drive read channels, communications up to 2.7 Gb/s. Also included is AXW100 ArbExpress waveform creation and editing software. This software allows for easy waveform import from oscilloscopes or basic, advanced, and math waveform creation and edit capabilities.
