3D Modulation
Programming
Use the following command for programming the 3D modulation
parameters. 3D modulation requires an external utility to download
the modulation coordinates into the 3D memory location. In case
you intend to build your own 3D profiles, use the examples as given
in the IVI drivers that are supplied with the 5251.
The commands for programming the 3D function are described
below. Note that the carrier waveform frequency (CW) setting is
common to all modulation schemes.
3D:DATA<data_array>
Description
The 3D modulation allows simultaneous profiling of amplitude, frequency and phase. Amplitude profiles can
be different for each channel however, frequency and phase are common to both channels. There are
30,000 waveform points that are allocated for the 3D modulation of which can be clocked using a 3D
sample clock generator from 1 Hz to 2.5 MHz and thus generating up to 30,000 increments of simultaneous
amplitude, frequency and phase profiles within the programmed period.
3D data must be downloaded to the 5251 before it can generate 3D profiles. The best way to generate such
data would be by using the supplied ArbConnection program. Information how to use ArbConnection is
given in a separate chapter of this manual. To generate the data, open the 3D Composer and create your
profiles, then store the profiles with a known name. You can then use the stored files as data entry for the
3D data array input. Another way to create 3D data is by using the supplied IVI driver. The IVI driver has
sample programs and software routines that show how to generate 3D data.
Regardless if you select to use ArbConnection or the IVI driver, you are always welcomed to contact the
Tabor Electronics support center for information and help with this function.

Description
<data_array>
Double
Block of binary data that contains information of the
3D profiles. Data contains amplitude sweeps for both
channels as well as, frequency and phase sweep
parameters for the 3D waveform.
3D:MARKer<index>(?)
Description
Programs where on the 3D profile the 5251 will generate a pulse, designated as 3Dop marker, or index
point. The marker pulse is generated at the SYNC output connector.
