Waveform Generation in the AG Mode
Setting the Output Conditions
You can turn ON/OFF the output and set the output voltage range for each channel.
Setting the output voltage range
You can select the range from the following list of choices.
Setting
Possible Output Range
1 V
–1 to 1 V
2 V
–2 to 2 V
5 V
–5 to 5 V
10 V
–10 to 10 V
Selecting the time base
You can select the time base from internal or external clock. The sampling interval can
be specified only when internal clock is selected.
Setting the sampling interval
Set the interval that is used to read the waveform data from the waveform memory.
When auto load is used to load waveform data, the sampling interval setting is also
loaded. However, the sampling interval can be changed after the waveform data are
loaded. The range is 10
µ
s to 10 s (10
µ
s resolution). This setting is valid only when the
time base setting is [Internal].
Setting memory partitions
The waveform data memory can be divided into multiple blocks. The data that are
registered in each memory block can be output sequentially every time the trigger
occurs. You can select the number of partitions from 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256.
When auto load is used to load waveform data, the number of partitions is set to the
number of blocks of the waveform data being loaded.
Setting the data length
You can specify the data length of the waveform to be generated. The range is from 10
to the maximum usable data length. When auto load is used to load waveform data, the
data length is set to that of the waveform data being loaded.
Setting the block to be output
You can specify the starting and ending blocks that are to be output the waveform from
the divided waveform memory. The operation varies depending on the output mode (see
next section) as follows.
One Shot/Cont/Repeat : Outputs the waveform of the block specified by the [Start Block
No.].
Trigger
: Sequentially outputs the waveform from blocks [Start Block No.]
through [End Block No.] every time a trigger occurs.
Setting the output timing of the trigger signal
When the data at the specified position of the output waveform (the specified point from
the beginning of the waveform data) are output, a synchronized trigger signal is output to
the WE bus of the measuring station.
