The analyzer’s arbitrary source is now generating the same waveform as
that displayed in the original trace.
The maximum number of samples in the source waveform is dependent on
the sample rate used to create the arbitrary-source data. The maximum
number of samples that the arbitrary source can output varies between
16,384 and 32,768 samples. For details, see ‘’To output the maximum
number of samples’’ later in this chapter.
The analyzer’s arbitrary source requires time-domain data. Because of this,
there are basically three steps to follow when using a single trace to create
an arbitrary waveform:
1 Display the trace using time-domain measurement data.
2 Save the trace into a data register.
3 Turn on the arbitrary source and select the data register.
To create an arbitrary
waveform, display your
signal in the time domain
and save the resulting trace
to a data register. Then
configure the arbitrary
source to use the data
register.
