6. USER PROGRAMMABLE ARBITRARY WAVEFORM
MODULE
Product Overview
In addition to the 27 build-in waveforms, models
4084AWG
and
4086AWG
also provide the
capability to generate and store up to 8 user-defined waveforms in non-volatile memory.
This Windows-based software tool offers a graphical user interface that you can use to create, edit,
and transfer custom waveforms to the internal memory of the 4084AWG or 4086AWG
Function/Arbitrary Generator.
Waveforms can be created in several ways: Users can draw new waveforms with a mouse, edit one
of the predefined waveforms, read in waveform parameters from a text file or download waveforms
from a TEKTRONIX
®
digital storage oscilloscope. Once completed, the waveform can be
transmitted to the generator and stored in non-volatile memory.
