Lesson 5 – Waveform Generation with the Mixed-Signal Tool

 • INJECT JITTER
 • CABLE SIMULATION
These functions will not be discussed in this training. Detailed 
information can be found in the Test Setup manual.
Waveform Download
Generated waveforms can be downloaded either to a vector label 
as a pattern for digital pins (e.g. for stimulating a DAC) or to the 
waveform memory of an AWG (e.g. for sourcing an analog 
waveform to a buffer or ADC).
Waveform Display and Analysis
Result waveforms and result values computed by the mixed-signal 
testfunctions (such as DNL, INL, or spectrum), or by test methods, 
can be displayed with the Mixed-Signal Tool. They can also be 
saved, and loaded and displayed at a later time with the tool.
In addition, the mixed-signal testfunctions provide the option to 
log captured, processed, and computed waveforms in an Event 
Datalog file. These waveforms can also be displayed with the 
Mixed-Signal Tool.
Waveforms can be analyzed using markers, harmonic analysis, or 
coherent reconstruction.
Waveform Save/Load Operations
Every waveform on the display can be saved. Every saved 
waveform can be reloaded and reused.
