Waveform Length
The length in samples of the resulting segment. It may be set within acceptable
limits and it may be calculated automatically to properly implement other signal
and instrument parameters such as sampling rate.
Max. Wfm. Length
Maximum waveform length must be used to force the resulting waveform to be
shorter or equal that a user-set limit.
Keep Sample Rate
This check box preserves the sampling rate to a user-defined value no matter how
any other signal parameters may be defined. Keeping the sampling rate to a fixed
value may be necessary when multiple waveforms are created to be used in a
sequence or scenario.
Sample Rate
Final DAC’ conversion rate for the resulting signal. It may be set by the user or
automatically calculated depending on other signal parameters.
Scaling Section
DAC Max
Standard waveforms may occupy a limited range of the DAC’ full scale. This
parameter sets the maximum level. If set to a lower level than DAC Min, this will be
automatically set to the same level. Acceptable range for this parameter is -1/+1,
being the full dynamic range of the instrument’ DAC.
DAC Min
Standard waveforms may occupy a limited range of the DAC’ full scale. This
parameter sets the minimum level. If set to a higher level than DAC Max, this will
be automatically set to the same level. Acceptable range for this parameter is -
1/+1, being the full dynamic range of the instrument’ DAC.
Marker Mode Section
Sample Marker
Sample marker signaling the beginning of each segment may be activated
(Segment selection) and deactivated (None selection).
Sync Marker
Sync marker signaling the beginning of each segment may be activated (Segment
selection) and deactivated (None selection).
