c) Amplitude range determination method
Determine the amplitude range by observing how the waveform changes when the
amplitude is changed.
Under the initial settings, the waveform oscillating between the two polarities is set to ±FS,
while the unipolar waveform is set to 0/+FS.
■
Example when amplitude range is ±FS for sine wave
When the amplitude is changed, the waveform amplitude changes
in a +/– symmetric manner with the DC offset position as
reference.
Normally, in the case of a waveform that oscillates between the
two polarities with zero as the center, it is convenient to set the
amplitude range to ±FS.
■
Example of Gaussian pulse with amplitude range of 0/+FS
When the amplitude is changed, only the waveform amplitude is
changed at the peak on the positive side, using the DC offset
position as reference. The amplitude is changed using the bottom
of the waveform as reference. Normally, in the case of a unipolar
waveform, it is convenient to set the amplitude range to 0/+FS or
−
FS/0.
If the amplitude range is set to
−
FS/0, the amplitude changes
using the top of the waveform as reference.
(Gaussian pulse is a waveform that is included in parameter-variable waveforms.)
d) Limitation through amplitude range
• If the amplitude range is
−
FS/0 or 0/+FS, the maximum amplitude is one half of ±FS.
• If the amplitude range is
−
FS/0 or 0/+FS, this is equivalent to only the lower half or the
upper half of the waveform memory being used. Therefore, the amplitude resolution is
reduced by 1 bit compared to ±FS.
• The amplitude setting when the amplitude setting is ±FS is Vp-p, and in the case of
−
FS/
0 or 0/+FS, it is Vpk. In either case, the amplitude refers to the peak-to-peak size of the
waveform.
