Arbitrary waveform generator (AWG)

An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is used to generate electrical waveforms. The waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot. An AWG can generate any arbitrarily defined waveshape as its output. The waveforms can be injected into a device under test and analyzed by the PicoScope as they progress through it, confirming proper operation of the device or pinpointing a fault in it.
