Arbitrary Waveforms
Arbitrary Waveforms
There are five built-in arbitrary waveforms stored in non-volatile memory.
You can also store up to four user-defined waveforms in non-volatile
memory in addition to one in volatile memory. Each waveform can
contain between 1 (a dc voltage) and 65,536 (64K) data points.
You can create an arbitrary waveform from the front panel as described
in the following section, or you can use the Agilent IntuiLink software
provided on the CD-ROM included with the Agilent 33220A. The Agilent
IntuiLink software allows you to create arbitrary waveforms using a
graphical user interface on your PC, and then download them into the
Agilent 33220A. You can also capture waveforms from your Agilent
oscilloscope and import them into IntuiLink. Please see the online help
included with the Agilent IntuiLink software for further information.
Note. You can download waveforms of up to 65,536 (64K) data points
into the Agilent 33220A from your PC. However, only waveforms of
16,384 (16K) points or less can be created or edited from the front panel.
Refer to chapter 7, "Tutorial", for more information on the internal
operation of downloading and outputting an arbitrary waveform.
To Create and Store an Arbitrary Waveform
This section gives an example which shows you how to create and store
an arbitrary waveform from the front panel. To download an arbitrary
waveform from the remote interface, see "Arbitrary Waveform Commands"
starting on page 234. For this example, you will create and store the
ramp waveform shown below using four waveform points.
