Channel 2
The Channel 2 command updates the waveform screen with the
Channel 2 waveform. If you have not yet generated a waveform for
Channel 2, the waveform screen will show a dc level at vertical
point 0.
Wave Commands The Wave commands let you create waveforms on the screen. The
Wave command has a library of 8 waveforms: Sine, Sawtooth,
Square, Sinc, Gaussian, Exponent, Pulse, and Noise. It also lets
you create waveforms using the Equation Editor. Information how to
create waveforms using the Wave commands is given below.
Creating Waveforms From the Built-in Library
You can create any waveform from the built-in library using the
Wave command. Clicking on one of the Wave options will open a
dialog box. An example of the Sine waveform dialog box is shown
in Figure 4-34. This dialog box is representative of the rest of the
waveforms, so other waveforms will not be described.
Creating Sine Waveforms
Use the following procedure to create sine waveforms from the
built-in library. Click on Wave, then sine… the dialog box as shown
in Figure 4-33 will appear. You can now start programming
parameters that are available in this box.
Start Point – Defines the first point where the created wave will
start. Note that if you change the start point the left anchor will
automatically adjust itself to the selected start point. The example
shows start point set at point 0.
End Point – Defines where the created waveform will end. Note that
as you change the end point the right anchor will automatically
adjust itself to the selected end point. The example shows end point
set at point 499.
Cycles – The Cycles parameter defines how many sine cycles will
be created within the specified start and end points. The example
below shows five sine cycles.
Amplitude – 14-bit of vertical define 16,384 incremental steps. The
Amplitude parameter defines how many of these steps are used for
generating the sine. The example is showing sine waveform with
maximum peak-to-peak amplitude. Any number below the
maximum will generate an attenuated sine.
Start Phase – The start phase parameter defines the angle of which
the sine will start. The example shows start phase of 90
°
.
Power – The example shows sine cubed. Sine to the power of 1 will
generate a perfect sine. Power range is from 1 through 9.
