Additional Information on Arbitrary Waveforms
– As a shortcut to determine which arbitrary waveform is selected, press .
A temporary message is displayed on the front panel.
–
Y
ou cannot edit any of the five built-in arbitrary waveforms.
– Press the Edit Wform softkey to edit any of the arbitrary waveforms stored in
non-volatile memory or the waveform currently stored in volatile memory.
While editing an existing waveform, note the following interactions.
–If you increase the cycle period, some points could potentially match
existing points. The waveform editor will preserve the earliest points and
remove all duplicates.
–If you decrease the cycle period, the waveform editor will remove all points
that were previously defined beyond the new period.
–If you increase the voltage limits, there will be no change in the voltage
levels of any existing points but there may be some loss of vertical
resolution.
–If you decrease the voltage limits, some of the existing points could
potentially exceed the new limits. The waveform editor will reduce the
voltage levels of such points to equal the new limits.
– If you select an arbitrary waveform as the modulating waveshape for AM, FM,
or PWM, the waveform is automatically limited to 4K points. Extra waveform
points are removed using decimation.
