To Create and Store an Arbitrary Waveform
This section gives an example which shows you how to create and store
an arbitrary waveform from the front panel. To download an arbitrary
waveform from the remote interface, see Arbitrary Waveform Commands
starting on page 222. For this example, you will create and store the
ramp waveform shown below using four waveform points.
1 Select the arbitrary waveform function.
When you press to select the arbitrary function, a temporary
message is displayed indicating which waveform is currently selected.
2 Start the arbitrary waveform editor.
Press the
Create New
softkey to start the waveform editor. While in the
waveform editor, you define the waveform by specifying time and voltage
values for each point in the waveform. When creating a new waveform,
the previous waveform in volatile memory is overwritten.
3 Set the waveform period.
Press the
Cycle Period
softkey to set the time boundaries for the
waveform. The time value of the last point that can be defined in the
waveform must be less than the specified cycle period.
For this example, set the period of the waveform to 10 ms.
Volt / Div = 1 Volt
Time/ Div = 1 ms
