User Manual 3153

Specifications

A-2

User (arbitrary)

The waveform generator outputs the selected arbitrary
waveform.

Sequenced

The waveform generator outputs the arbitrary waveforms
specified by the sequence. Each channel has an independent
sequencer.

Fixed (Standard) Waveforms

Description

The standard waveforms are created by using the first 1024
points in waveform memory and by varying the Internal
Sample Clock

Frequency

. Standard waveforms cannot be

mixed with arbitrary waveforms. There is a minimal delay to
reload standard waveforms when the points have been loaded
with arbitrary waveforms. The first 1024 points are also
available to User waveforms, but this section is the last to be
allocated.
