Generating Arbitrary Waveforms with the HP E1340A
This chapter shows how to generate arbitrary waveforms using the
HP E1340A 12-Bit Arbitrary Function Generator (called the " AFG" ).
The following sections show how to generate arbitrary waveforms. Also
included are example programs that generate various arbitrary waveforms.
The sections are as follows:

The flowchart on page 58 shows the commands and the command execution
order to generate standard waveforms. The reset (power-on) values of each
command are also noted on the flowchart. Note that the IEEE 488.2
command places the AFG into its power-on state. Thus, it may be
unnecessary to execute all of the commands on the flowchart.
