Using Filters (N5162A and N5182A Only)
Filters can be used to reduce the bandwidth of a signal without losing the content of the generated
waveforms.
The MXG has filtering features available with the following modulation modes and options:
“Basic Digital Operation for N5172B/82B with Options 653/655/656/657” on page 151 and
“Using Custom Digital Modulation for N5172B/82B with Option 431 and 653/655/656/657” on
page 255.
This section contains the following topics:

Use Step Dwell with Free Run when additional measurement wait time is
desired after settling.
If the signal is to be settled for a minimum specific time at each point and it is
not important if the point to point time is consistent, use Step Dwell and Free
Run time.
Sweep >
If the signal’s point to point time requires
consistency but the specific settling time
at each point can vary, then use the
Timer Trigger. Avoid using too fast of a
sweep which does not allow the signal
generator to settle.
If the signal needs to be settled for a
specific minimum time and consistent
point to point time is required, then you
should set the Timer Trigger to be the
sum of the switching time (900 us (Option
UNZ) or 5 ms (Standard)) plus the
minimum settled time that is needed to
make the measurement.
Example: If you need the signal to remain
settled for 3 ms, and you have Option
UNZ which settles in 0.9 ms, then set the
time trigger to the sum which is 3.9 ms.
