2-2 Defining and Downloading a
Waveform to the AWG
The waveforms to be sourced to a mixed-signal device can be
conveniently created, stored, and reloaded with the Mixed-Signal
Tool.
Generating a Waveform
To generate a waveform:
1 Click the GENERATE button of the Mixed-Signal Tool.
2 Select one of the tools for waveform generation.
For the ADC test, you will use the Waveform Editor as shown
below.
3 Generate the waveform with the selected tool. For the ADC test,
ramp for the ADC Linearity test, and a sine wave for the ADC
Distortion test will be needed.
