Standard Waveform Tab
The Standard Waveform tab is used 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 I/Q data generation 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.
