Capturing Other Waveforms to the Arbitrary Waveform
The Edit Waveform Menu is opened by pressing Edit Waveform in the main
Waveform Generator Menu.
To capture another waveform to the arbitrary waveform:
1 Press Source ; then, use the Entry knob to select the analog channel, math, or
reference location whose waveform you wish to capture.
2 Press Store Source to Arb .
The source waveform is decimated into 8192 (maximum) or fewer arbitrary
waveform points.
To output the waveform generator sync pulse
1 If the Waveform Generator Menu is not currently displayed on the
oscilloscope's softkeys, press the [Wave Gen] key.
2 In the Waveform Generator Menu, press the Settings softkey.
3 In the Waveform Generator Settings Menu, press the Trig Out softkey and turn
the Entry knob to select Waveform Generator Sync Pulse .
CAUTION
When you create a new arbitrary waveform, the existing arbitrary waveform definition is
overwritten. Note that you can use the [Save/Recall] key and menu to save arbitrary
waveforms to one of four internal storage locations or to a USB storage device, and you
can recall them later. See "To save arbitrary waveforms" on page 279 and "To
recall arbitrary waveforms" on page 283.
NOTE
If the source waveform frequency and/or voltage exceed the capabilities of the waveform
generator, the arbitrary waveform will be limited to the capabilities of the waveform
generator. For example, a 20 MHz waveform captured as the arbitrary waveform, becomes a
12 MHz waveform.
