Generating Standard Waveforms with the HP E1340A

This chapter shows how to generate standard waveforms (
SQUare , TRIangle , and RAMPS
Function Generator (hereafter called the " AFG" ).
The following sections show how to generate standard waveforms, how to
setup the AFG for different output loads, how to select the output amplitude
units (i.e., V, Vpeak, etc.), and how to set the waveform amplitude and
offset. The sections are as follows:

The flowchart on page 42 shows the sequence used to generate standard
waveforms. The reset (power-on) values of each command are also noted on
the f owchart. The programs in this chapter begin with a reset (the IEEE
488.2 *RST command) which places the AFG into its power-on state. Thus,
the programs do not execute all of the commands on the flowchart.
