Custom Arb Waveform Generator
Configuring Hardware
The Custom Arb Waveform Generator has been configured to play a single multicarrier waveform
100 milliseconds after it detects a change in TTL state from low to high at the PATT TRIG IN rear
panel connector.
10. Set the function generator waveform to a 0.1 Hz square wave at an output level of 0 to 5V.
11. On the signal generator, press
Mode > Custom > Arb Waveform Generator > Digital Modulation Off On until On
is highlighted.
This generates a waveform with the custom multicarrier state and the display changes to Dig Mod
Setup: Multicarrier.
During waveform generation, the DIGMOD and I/Q annunciators activate and the new custom
multicarrier state is stored in volatile ARB memory. The waveform should be modulating the RF
carrier.
12. Press
RF On/Off.
The externally single–triggered custom multicarrier waveform should be available at the signal
generator’s RF OUTPUT connector 100 ms after receiving a change in TTL state from low to high
at the PATT TRIG IN.
