Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] AWG5000 Series models, with a 14-bit DAC, sample rates up to 1. 2 GS/s, 2 to 4 output channels, synchronized 4 to 8 digital marker outputs, and 28 channels of digital data outputs, easily solve the toughest measurement challenges in wireless communications, defense electronics, digital consumer product design, data conversion equipment, test system synchronization, and semiconductor design and test. The open windows (Windows 7) based instruments are easy, convenient to use, and connect with peripherals and other third-party software. The capabilities of the AWG5000 Series are further enhanced by the addition of key features:
Dynamic Jump The Dynamic Jump capability enables the creation of complex waveforms by enabling the ability to dynamically jump to any predefined index in a waveform sequence. [. . . ] The editor provides control and flexibility to create more complex waveforms using customer-defined parameters. Waveform Sequencing and Subsequencing Real-time sequencing creates infinite waveform loops, jumps, and conditional branches for longer pattern-length generation suitable for replicating real-world behavior of serial transmitters.
Mixed-signal Generation
AWG5012 and AWG5002 models have an optional 28 digital output channels with high-resolution edge placement, making them a great solution for digital signal generation applications, such as digital design and validation, system synchronization, and ADC/DAC testing.

Characteristics
Definitions
Specifications (not noted) Product characteristics described in terms of specified performance with tolerance limits which are warranted/guaranteed to the customer. Specifications are checked in the manufacturing process and in the Performance Verification section of the product manual with a direct measurement of the parameter. Typical (noted) Product characteristics described in terms of typical performance, but not guaranteed performance. The values given are never warranted, but most units will perform to the level indicated. Typical characteristics are not tested in the manufacturing process or the Performance Verification section of the product manual. Nominal (noted) Product characteristics described in terms of being guaranteed by design. Nominal characteristics are non-warranted, so they are not checked in the manufacturing process or the Performance Verification section of the product manual.
