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, 499 shown in the example.
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 – 16-bit of vertical define 32,768 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.

The Toolbar
The toolbar contains icons for editing the waveform screen, icons
for saving and loading waveforms, fields for selecting an active
channel and for adjusting segment length and more. The Toolbar is
shown in Figure 3-30. For the individual icons, refer to the
descriptions above of the Wave Composer Menus.
