What's In This
Chapter
Introduction To
WaveCAD
This Chapter contains information how to install, invoke and use
WaveCAD. An introduction to WaveCAD and examples of how to
program instrument parameters and generate waveforms on the
3155 is also given in the following sections.
In general, WaveCAD is a utility program that serves as an aid for
programming the Model 3155. WaveCAD has many functions and
features of which all share a common purpose – controlling 3155
functions from a host computer. As a minimum, to use WaveCAD,
you'll need the following:
1. Computer or embedded controller, Pentium II or better.
2. Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, XP or newer.
3. High resolution screen, at least, 1024 x 768 pixels.
4. Pointing device, mouse or track ball.
5. PXI chassis and installed 3155.
6. PCI extender such as MXI-3 (if embedded controller is not
used).
WaveCAD operation is divided into three main functions: 1) Front
panel control, 2) Waveform editing and 3) FM waveform editing.
These operating options are described in this chapter. But, you must
install WaveCAD before you can use it, so the next paragraphs de-
scribe installation and the first steps before going into in-depth o p-
eration.
