The Composers tab provides access to a group of composers that
allow generation and editing of arbitrary waveforms, pulse shapes,
arbitrary frequency modulation and 3D profiling. Without utilities
such as the above, the operation of an arbitrary waveform
generator is extremely limiting.
There are two waveform composers built into ArbConnection:
Wave – for generating arbitrary waveforms. Arbitrary waveforms
can be generated from standard libraries, from an equation editor,
or imported to the composer from external utilities such as MatLAB.
The waveforms can be edited and stored on hard or soft disks.
Pulse – for generating complex pulse trains. Unlike a standard
pulse generator, you can design and edit multiple pulse trains with
linear transitions and variable amplitudes.
The Composers set of panels are shown in Figure 4-29. Each of the
composers is described below.
