Chapter 4 Waveform Creation System
Components
Components
The following components are required for the 2411 B waveform creation system.
• Model 2411B Arbitrary Waveform Generator
• WaveWorks Pro + Wavform Creation Software
• RS-232 Cable
It is recommended that you install the optional WaveWorks Pro + in a PC equipped with the following
minimum configuration. For more details, see page 1-3 of the WaveWorks Pro manual.
• IBM (or compatible) PC , 16MB memory
• 2MB free harddisk space. Windows 95 or higher operating system
Recommendation
It is recommended that you try operating WaveWorks Pro + software using the PC
asynchronous serial port (COM port) since you do not have to have the specified
GPIB card and software installed in your PC. Follow the installation instruction
on page 1 -4 of the WaveWorks Pro + manual.
User Interface
When the system is completely installed, the following interfaces are used to
control the waveform creation system.
Front Panel (2411B)
This is used primarily to select and control the hardware parameters, such as mode, sample clock rate,
amplitude, offset, and waveform selection. 20 standard waveforms may be created from the front panel.
Arbitrary waveforms and sequence waveforms can be edited from the front panel.
Waveform Windows (WaveWorks Pro +)
The WaveWorks Pro +, which runs under Windows, is the main interface for waveform creation tasks.
You can create up to 32 standard waveforms and unlimited number of arbitrary and sequence waveforms
using Point Edit and Waveform Math.
You may also analyze and edit the waveforms using the FFT and Digital Pattern Generator while
exchanging the ASCII data with other applications. Once the communications link is established
between the PC and the waveform generator, downloading a waveform is as simple as selecting the
download waveform location and clicking the OK button.
