Using the Graphical User Interface
Generating a Single Tone Signal
NOTE
A spectrum analyzer is required to display the waveforms.
Use the following procedure as a guide to basic single-ended waveform
playback with the N6030A Series AWG. All waveform parameters need to
be set prior to waveform playback.
1. Connect a 10 MHz reference from the spectrum analyzer to the AWG
front panel connector. If you are using a PXI chassis, use the Backplane
10MHz reference.
2. Connect the channel 1 positive (+) output to the spectrum analyzer RF
input connector.
3. Open the user interface by double-clicking the N6030A icon placed on
the desktop during installation.

tab and connect a single-ended signal conditioning
path to CH1 OUT (+) (click on the node that you want to connect).
