4 Set the waveform voltage limits.
Press the High V Limit and Low V Limit softkeys to set the upper and
lower voltage levels that can be reached while editing the waveform.
The upper limit must be greater than the lower limit. By default,
Point #1 is set equal to the upper limit and Point #2 is set equal to the
lower limit.
For this example, set the upper limit to 3.0 V and the lower limit to 0 V.
5 Select the interpolation method.
Press the Interp softkey to enable or disable linear interpolation between
waveform points (this feature is available from the front panel only).
With interpolation enabled (default), the waveform editor makes a
straight-line connection between points. With interpolation disabled,
the waveform editor maintains a constant voltage level between points
and creates a “step-like” waveform.
For this example, turn on linear interpolation.
6 Set the initial number of waveform points.
The waveform editor initially builds a waveform with two points and
automatically connects the last point of the waveform to the voltage level
of the first point to create a continuous waveform. Press the Init # Points
softkey to specify the initial number of waveform points (you can add or
remove points later if necessary).
For this example, set the initial number of points to “4”.
