**Changing one of the arbitrary parameters as start and length causes an update of the output waveform to the new
parameters. When exiting the Arbitrary Menu by selecting a different waveform, a message to save the Arbitrary
wave will be displayed. Select YES or NO to save the new waveform. This save functions the same as the SAVE
ARB function.
3.6.4 Arbitrary EDIT Menu
Enters data for creating arbitrary waveforms. You can enter data one point at a time, as a value at an address, draw
a line from one point (a value at an address) to another point, create a predefined waveform, or combine these to
create complex waveforms. The valid data values range is -8191 to 8191. The valid waveform memory addresses
range from 1 to 4,000,000.
The data value governs the output amplitude of that point of the waveform, scaled to the instrument output
amplitude. Therefore, a value of 8191 corresponds to positive peak amplitude, 0 corresponds to the waveform
offset, and -8191 corresponds to the negative peak amplitude.
F1: POINT
- This menu allows point by point waveform editing. When selected, the following menu is
displayed:
F1:
ADRS
-
Select the current address in the arbitrary waveform memory.
F2: DATA
- Selects the data point value at the current address. You can change the point
value from -8191 to 8191.
F5: PREV
- Goes back to previous menu (Edit menu).
F2: LINE
-
This menu allows a line drawing between two selected points.
Displays the following menu:
F1: FROM
-
Selects the starting point address.
F2: TO
- Selects the ending point address.
F4: EXEC
- Displays the Confirmation menu,
F1:NO
and
F3:YES
F5: PREV
- Goes back to previous menu (Edit menu).
F3: PREDEF
- (Predefined Waveforms) Selects one of the predefined waveforms
F1: TYPE
- Selects the waveform Sine, Triangle, Square, Noise, Ramp up, Ramp down,
exponential up, exponential down, Sin(x)/x, and Gaussian distribution. If Noise function is
selected, a submenu is displayed when
F5:EXEC
is pressed to allow adding the noise to an
available waveform or to generate it as a new noise waveform.
F2: FROM/DATA
- Selects the starting point of the generated waveform and its data value.
