Creating a .txt or .csv file for a custom waveform
3. The custom waveform in Figure 5-13 is a simple 6-point waveform made up of these voltage
values: 0 V, 4 V, 1 V, 3 V, 2 V, 0 V. Those seven entries are shown in the text editors in
Figure 5-14.
NOTE The time at each point is determined by the Time Per Point setting in the Arb
Generator tab (Step 4 in Figure 5-8).
4. Save as a waveform file (.txt or .csv) in the ArbFiles folder at the following command
path location:
C:\S4200\kiuser\KPulse\ArbFiles
Calculation waveform
An example of a calculation waveform is shown in Figure 5-15. The waveform for this example is
named CALC1, but can be any name that is not already used in the Scratch Pad.
The calculation (add, subtract, multiple or divide) performs the selected math operation on two
selected Scratch Pad waveforms. In Figure 5-15, SINE1 is added to RAMP1.
After selecting the two waveforms and the math operation, click Preview to display the result of
the calculation. Clicking Ok places the waveform in the Scratch Pad.
