Embedded Waveform Editor
Symmetry
(Ramp only)
The percentage of time (per cycle period) that the ramp rises, a decimal from 0 to
100 (default 100).
Zero Crossing
(Sinc only)
The number of times the waveform crosses the horizontal axis on one side of the
waveform, from 0 to 100 (default 10).
Duty Cycle
(Square only)
The percentage of the time (per cycle period) that the waveform voltage is high,
from 0 to 100 (default 50).
Start Level
(Line only)
The voltage at the beginning or end of the line segment.
End Level
(Line only)
Basic Waveform Editing
When you start the embedded waveform editor (press Waveforms and Arb, then Arbs, Edit New, and Start
Editor), the opening screen appears. (Note that the same menu that contains the Edit New softkey also contains an
Import CSV softkey. You can use this to import ASCII files from oscilloscopes and other common instruments.)
Edit Points allows you to edit the voltage values of individual points in the waveform. You can also insert and remove
points in the waveform, and you can access the Advanced Edit features, described below.
Edit Params allows you to set the waveform’s sample rate, which is the rate (in points per second) in which the wave-
form is played. You can specify this value as a rate or as a period. If you change one, the other will recalculate based on
