Waveform Generator
Creating New Arbitrary Waveforms
The New Waveform Menu is opened by pressing Create New in the Edit Waveform
Menu.
To create a new arbitrary waveform:
1 In the New Waveform Menu, press Initial Pts ; then, use the Entry knob to select
the initial number of points in the new waveform.
The new waveform will be a square wave with the number of points you specify.
The points are evenly spaced over the time period.
2 Use the Frequency/Frequency Fine/Period/Period Fine softkey to set the time period
bounding parameter (repetition frequency) of the arbitrary waveform.
3 Use the Amplitude / High-Level and Offset / Low-Level softkeys to set the voltage
bounding parameter of the arbitrary waveform.
Interpolate Specifies how lines are drawn between arbitrary waveform points.
When enabled, lines are drawn between points in the waveform editor. Voltage levels change
linearly between one point and the next.
When disabled, all line segments in the waveform editor are horizontal. The voltage level of
one point remains until the next point.
Source Selects the analog channel or reference waveform to be captured and stored to the arbitrary
waveform. See “Capturing Other Waveforms to the Arbitrary Waveform" on
page 311.
Store Source to Arb Captures the selected waveform source and copy it to the arbitrary waveform. See
“Capturing Other Waveforms to the Arbitrary Waveform" on page 311.
Softkey Description
NOTE
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 328 and “To recall arbitrary waveforms" on
page 333.
