These functions will not be discussed in this training. Detailed
information can be found in the Test Setup manual.
Waveform Download
Generated waveforms can be downloaded either to a vector label
as a pattern for digital pins (e.g. for stimulating a DAC) or to the
waveform memory of an AWG (e.g. for sourcing an analog
waveform to a buffer or ADC).
Waveform Display and Analysis
Result waveforms and result values computed by the mixed-signal
testfunctions (such as DNL, INL, or spectrum), or by test methods,
can be displayed with the Mixed-Signal Tool. They can also be
saved, and loaded and displayed at a later time with the tool.
In addition, the mixed-signal testfunctions provide the option to
log captured, processed, and computed waveforms in an Event
Datalog file. These waveforms can also be displayed with the
Mixed-Signal Tool.
Waveforms can be analyzed using markers, harmonic analysis, or
coherent reconstruction.
Waveform Save/Load Operations
Every waveform on the display can be saved. Every saved
waveform can be reloaded and reused.
