Set Up Arbitrary Waveform
Set Up Arbitrary Waveform
The instrument includes an embedded waveform editor that allows you to create and edit arbitrary waveforms. You can
create these waveforms by editing voltage values directly or by using an combination of up to 12 different kinds of
standard waveforms.
The following tutorial creates and edits a basic waveform.
Insert Built-in Waveforms
1. Start the embedded waveform editor by pressing
Waveforms
, then
Arb
, then
Arbs
. Press
Edit New
, accept the
default file name, and then
Start Editor
. You now have a 0 VDC waveform of exactly 8 points.
2. Press
Insert Built-in
, then
Choose Wave
. Use the knob or the arrows below the knob to select
D-Lorentz
and
press
OK
. Use the keypad and the
V
softkey that appears when you start typing on the keypad to set the
Ampli-
tude
to 2 V, and then press
OK
. The waveform now has 108 points, as the D-Lorentz waveform of 100 points was
inserted in front of the initial 8 points.
3. Suppose that you want to undo the change that you just made. Press
System
, then the
Undo
softkey. You are
now back to the original 8 point, 0 V waveform.
