defined points of the waveform.
ON: enables the linear interpolation. The waveform editor connects two
➢
defined points by using a straight line.
OFF: disables the linear interpolation. The waveform editor will keep a
➢
constant voltage level between two points and create a ladder-like
waveform.
Edit Points
⚫
Click Edit Points to enter the point editing menu. You can specify the voltage
value for each waveform point to define the waveforms.
Current Point
➢
Click PointX, then use the pop-up numeric keypad or scroll with the mouse
to select the points to be edited. The available range is from 1 to the
number of initial points.
Voltage
➢
Click Voltage, then use the pop-up numeric keypad or scroll with the
mouse to set the voltage value of the current point. Its available range is
from -2.5 V to +2.5 V.
Insert
➢
Click Insert to insert a new editable point between the current editing
point and the next editing point. The number of initial points adds 1
automatically. You can click Insert continuously to increase the editable
points gradually.
Delete
➢
Click Delete to delete the current point from the waveform, and connect
the remaining points with the current interpolation method.
Zoom
➢
Click Zoom continuously to enable or disable the zoom function of
horizontal time base.
Apply
➢
Click Apply to apply the current settings for the currently edited arbitrary
waveforms and output the edited waveforms.
Save the arbitrary waveform
⚫
Click Save to enter the file saving interface. Please refer to descriptions in
"Store and Load" to save the currently edited waveform file to the internal or
external memory in "*.arb" format (you can overwrite the original file or save
the currently edited waveform again).
Modulation
The built-in Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator of DS8000-R series oscilloscope
supports amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and
frequency-shift keying modulation (FSK). A modulated waveform consists of a carrier
