Select the waveform shape.
The waveform amplitude rapidly jumps from a pre-
existing level to the new level within one sample point,
and stays at the new level for the duration of the
segment. The resulting waveform shape looks like a
step.
The waveform amplitude increases from the pre-
existing level to the new level over the duration of the
segment as a smooth straight-line. The sloping line
looks like a ramp.
To create a sawtooth pattern, use a zero duration
segment to sharply reset the ramp amplitude to the
baseline level – the next ramp will start from the
baseline level again.
The waveform is a sinusoidal wave
