Use this tab to create a variety of standard waveform types. It provides the controls
which allow the complete definition of signal generation parameters for the following
waveform shapes:
Sinusoidal
Square with linear transitions
Square with cosine-shaped transitions
Triangle
Sinc (Sin x/x)
Bandwidth-limited Gaussian noise
The standard waveform tab allows you to generate signals for both direct and up-
converter (IQ) modes. It also provides a graphic waveform preview functionality, which
can be used to validate created signals before sending them to the instrument. The
created signals can also be stored in a file for later use. The application takes care of
handling the requirements and limits of the target hardware in aspects such as
maximum and minimum record lengths and sampling rate and record length
granularity. As a result, the signals designed in this tab will be always feasible to be
generated by the instrument and free of distortions such as wrap-around or timing
artifacts, even if the signal is generated in looped mode.
