Creating a Complex Arbitrary Waveform
To create a complex arbitrary waveform:
Load a predefined sine waveform
Load a scaled sine waveform at the positive peak of the first sine wave
Draw a straight line between two data points in the waveform
Add a pulse/glitch to the waveform
Add a noise signal at the negative peak of the first sine wave
To see the waveform as you build it, connect the waveform generator to an oscilloscope and perform
the following steps:
