AWG2021 User Manual
In this section, we will use simple examples to illustrate the basic procedures for
waveform output on the AWG2021. Six examples will be given; these are listed
below. Buttons and menu items to be used will be shown to the left, and a
description of the corresponding operation will appear on the right.
First of all, you should make sure the power to the unit has been turned on; see
Section 1 "Start Up" for instructions on how to do this.
Example 1: Setting the Date & Time and Adjusting the Brightness
Example 2: Output of a Waveform Using the Sample Waveform Library Disk
Example 3: Creating Files and Arbitrary Waveform Outputs
Creating a Waveform File
Creating Arbitrary Waveforms Using the Point Draw Function
Creating Waveforms Arithmetically
Creating an Equation File
Creating a Sequence File
Creating Autostep Files
Setting the Output Parameters
Setting Operation Mode and Waveform Output
Example 4: Loading and Saving Files
Example 5: Loading Waveforms From Other Instruments
Example 6: Using the Waveform Function Generator
When a detailed description of a function is needed at the operation stage, see the
section dealing with that particular menu.
NOTE. These examples do not cover all of the functions and special features of
the instrument. The purpose of the examples is only to give you practice in
executing basic operations on the instrument.
