Setting the Frequency
There are two alternative ways to set the output frequency:
1. Move the track bar below the frequency display.
2. Click the frequency display frame, type the value and press the Enter key.
Setting the Output Voltage
There are two alternative ways to set the output voltage and the offset:
1. Move the track bar adjacent to the voltage display frame.
2. Click the voltage display frame, type the value and press the Enter key.
Output Filter
The output of the generator is equipped with a low pass filter. This filter is
used to eliminate any imperfections and noise caused by the D/A converter.
When generating user defined waveforms in LIB mode you can activate or
deactivate the filter. When generating the standard waveforms, the filter is
automatically set by default.
Editing and creating the waveform library file
Library files
Waveform library files are normal text files. Files can be created and edited
with standard text editors (such as Notepad or Wordpad) or with a
spreadsheet (such as Microsoft Excel). Spreadsheet is useful when
extracting the data from PC oscilloscope files. Most of the files can be created
and edited using this Wave Editor.
There are two methods to construct the waveform file:
1.
All data values, point by point, are written to the file.
This method is usable for complicated waveforms and for the
waveforms extracted from the oscilloscope data files.
2.
Only the corner values of the waveform data are written to the file.
The software generates automatically the values between the
corners.
This method is fast and easy way to generate waveform consisting
of horizontal, vertical or diagonal straight lines. Below there are
some example files and the corresponding waveform images.
In both cases the values are written on separate lines in the text file.
