By linking together a number of differently configured sequence points, complex progressions can
be created. Smart configuration of the arbitrary generator can be used to match triangular, sine,
rectangular or trapezoidal wave functions and thus, e.g. a curve of rectangular waves with differing
amplitudes or duty cycles could be produced
Schematic Diagram:
Application and Result:
Example 7: Focusing 2 cycles of 1 sequence point
out of 99:
A sequence point configured as in example 3 is run.
As the settings demand that the end offset (DC) is
higher than the start, the second sequence point
run will revert to the same start level as the first,
regardless of the values achieved at the end of the
first run. This can produce a discontinuity in the
total progression (marked in red) which can only be
compensated with careful choice of settings.
Example 8: Focusing 1 cycle of 2 sequence points
out of 99:
Two sequence points run consecutively. The first
one generates a sine wave with increasing
amplitude, the second one with a decreasing
amplitude. Together they produce a progression as
shown left. In order to ensure that the maximum
wave in the middle occurs only once, the first
sequence point must end with a positive half wave
and the second one start with a negative half wave
as shown in the diagram.
Example 9: Focusing 1 cycle of 4 sequence points
out of 99:
Point 1: 1/4th sine wave (angle = 270°)
Point 2: 3 Sine waves (ratio of frequency to
sequence time: 1:3)
Point 3: Horizontal ramp (f = 0) Point 4: Falling ramp
(f = 0)
