Does an "Arbitrary" Waveform Generator let me generate any type of waveform I want? For example my arbitary generator doesn't do triangle waves, but I can just define it in the arbitiray part right?
Any decent AWG should allow me to send single pulses/waves on demand correct? Like just one period of a wave.
What makes an "arbitrary waveform generator" is not cast in concrete like the laws of physics; terms like those are always, to some degree, made up by the guys in marketing. You need to look at the capabilities and limitations of a particular product to know just what it can do for you.

Yes, that's what it means. You have points that you program in there that can form a wave of your choice..(Arbitary)..
Non (Arbitrary) function generates normally employ the basic functions of Square, sine, Triangle, pulse with duty cycle time settings etc..
