Sine waveform
The sine waveform is the most basic and commonly used
stimulus in audio analysis. Press Waveform > Sine to select a
sine waveform. The following figure shows the sine waveform
menu.
Figure 4-3 Sine waveform menu
The sine waveform may be configured with the following
parameters.
• Frequency
• Amplitude
• DC Offset
Frequency is the reciprocal of the period of the signal.
Amplitude can be expressed as Vrms, Vpeak, Vpp, or dBV.
For a perfect sine waveform without any DC offset, Vpp is
twice Vpeak, while Vrms is equivalent to Vpeak/2.
The DC offset refers to the DC component of the waveform.
