Output Configuration
This section contains information to help you configure the function
generator for outputting waveforms. You may never have to change some
of the parameters discussed here, but they are provided to give you the
flexibility you might need.
Output Function
The function generator can output five standard waveforms (sine,
square, ramp, pulse, and noise), plus dc. You can also select one of five
optional built-in arbitrary waveforms or create your own custom
waveforms. You can internally modulate sine and square waveforms
using AM or FM (but not ramp, pulse, noise, dc, or arbitrary). You can
also modulate pulse using PWM. Linear or logarithmic frequency
sweeping is available for sine, square, and ramp waveforms (but not
pulse, noise, dc, or arbitrary). You can generate a burst waveform using
sine, square, and ramp waveforms (but not pulse, noise, dc, or arbitrary).
The default function is sine wave.
• The table below shows which output functions are allowed with
modulation, sweep, and burst. Each “
•
” indicates a valid
combination. If you change to a function that is not allowed with
modulation, sweep, or burst, then the modulation or mode is turned
off.

Arbitrary waveforms are also referred to as user-defined
waveforms.
