Using The Instrument 3-17
Using the Built-In
Standard
Waveforms
The Standard Waveform commands control the various
parameters of the active Standard Waveform. Standard
waveform commands operate in a similar fashion for each of the
Standard Waveforms. To simplify the description of this set of
commands, only the standard waveform commands for the
PULSe function are described. Use the same procedure to
program parameters for the SINe, TRIangle, RAMP, SQUare,
SINC, GAUSsian, EXPonential and DC waveforms.
The number of points used to define each Standard Waveform
varies. For SINe and SQUare:
Freq
≤
200kHz
Points = 500
Freq < 200kHz
Freq

100
Points
=
Freq > 10MHz
Points = 10
For RAMP, PULSE, GAUSSian and EXPonential:
Freq
≤
100kHz
Points = 1000
Freq > 100kHz
Freq

For TRIangle and SINC:

The equations used for generating EXPonential, GAUSian and
SINC functions are as follows:
