2.10 Selecting the Waveform
Introduction
The 81150A / 81160A can output six standard waveforms including:
 Pulse
 Sine
 Square
 Ramp
 Noise
 Arbitrary
You can also select one of the seven built-in arbitrary waveforms or create
your own custom waveforms.
You can internally modulate any of the standard waveforms (except pulse
and noise and DC) and also arbitrary waveforms using AM, FM, PM or FSK.
Pulse Waveform
Characteristics
A pulse is defined by the following parameters:
 Amplitude/Offset or High-Level/Low-Level
 Period or Frequency (not applicable for triggered pulses)
 Width in seconds or Duty Cycle or Trailing delay in seconds
 Delay in seconds
 Delay as percentage of the period (not applicable for triggered
pulses)
 Delay as phase in degree (not applicable for triggered pulses)
 Leading edge transition time in seconds
 Leading edge transition time in percent of width
 Trailing edge transition time in seconds
 Trailing edge transition time in percent of width
 Polarity
 Source Impedance
 Load Impedance
