When you select a waveform, the instrument displays a screen that
allows you to specify the waveform’s parameters. These parameters
include:
Amplitude
The height of the waveform peak above 0 V when the
waveform has 0 offset. Specified in Volts, from 10 µV
to 10 V (default 1).
Offset
The distance that the entire waveform is shifted up
(positive value) or down (negative value) relative to 0
V. Specified in Volts, from -10 to 10 (default 0).
The Amplitude plus the Offset must be between -10 V and 10 V.
Phase
The number of degrees that the waveform is
advanced (positive value) or retarded (negative value)
from 0 degrees. Specified in degrees from -360 to 360
(default 0).
Cycles
The number of complete output cycles that the
waveform includes. Specified as a positive integer,
and limited by the fact that each cycle must have at
least 8 points.
Points
The number of points that the waveform includes.
Specified as an integer from 8 to 1,000,000 (default
100). Option 002, supports up to 16,000,000 points.
Because a cycle must have at least 8 waveform points, the number of points
divided by the number of cycles must be greater than or equal to 8.
Half Width
(D-Lorentz only)
A value that controls the waveform width; larger
values make wider curves. Specified as an integer
from 1 to the total number of data points in one cycle
(default 10).
Fall Factor
(Expo Fall only)
A number that controls how fast the waveform falls.
Specified as a decimal number from -99 to 99
(default -5).
Rise Factor
(Expo Rise only)
A number that controls how fast the waveform rises.
Specified as a decimal number from -99 to 99
(default -5).
