Figure 3-32, The Main Panel
If you are connected properly to the PCI bus and WaveCAD has de-
tected this link and placed the address in its Link field, then every
time you press a button, you are getting an immediate action on the
3155. It is different if you are changing parameters on the display;
Doing this, you’ll have to press the Execute button for the command
to update the instrument.
HINT
If your instrument has not been detected automatically,
or if you connected the 3155 only after you invoked the
program, you can still detect your instrument by select-
ing Refresh Communication from the System menu. You
can always work offline if you just want to explore the
program.
Waveforms
The functional groups in the Main Panel are explained below.
The Waveform group is used for selecting between waveform types.
The 3155 provides three types of waveforms: Standard, Arbitrary and
Sequenced. Pressing one of these buttons will cause: 1) The 3155
will change the output waveform to the selected option and 2) An-
other panel, associated with the selected waveform type will be in-
voked and brought to the front. The default waveform type is Stan-
dard. Therefore, the opening screen has this panel behind the Main
Panel. If you want to change standard waveform parameters, you
can either click on the standard waveform panel, or select this panel
from the Panels bar.
