Signal Generator Overview
Front Panel Overview
• Two–tone mode produces two separate continuous wave signals (or tones). The frequency spacing
between the signals and the amplitudes are adjustable. To learn more, refer to Chapter 14,
"Multitone and Two–Tone Waveforms (Option 430)".
• Dual ARB mode is used to control the playback sequence of waveform segments that have been
written into the ARB memory located on the internal baseband generator. These waveforms can
be generated by the internal baseband generator using the Custom Arb Waveform Generator
mode, or downloaded through a remote interface into the ARB memory. To learn more, refer to
“Dual ARB Player” on page 146.
