9.2 Defining table entries
75
The listing below demonstrates how to set up advanced table mode
to control the envelope (amplitude) of the
RF
signal,
# enter fast table mode
MODE,1,TPA
# clear any table entries or settings
TABLE,CLEAR,1
# set amplitude (power) as the parallel parameter
TABLE,XPARAM,1,POW
# define a table
TABLE,APPEND,1,POW,5dbm,16ns
TABLE,APPEND,1,POW,10dbm,50ns
TABLE,APPEND,1,POW,0dbm,16ns
TABLE,APPEND,1,POW,-40dbm,16ns
Listing 9.1: Parallel instruction example in advanced table mode.
Figure 9.1: Output generated by Listing 9.1.
Parallel-mode instructions also provide functionality for piecewise
linear-interpolations, as described in §9.6. This enables the creation
of smooth ramps without requiring a large number of instructions.
TABLE,APPEND
TABLE,INSERT
The functions
and
can also be used,
supporting either syntax.
