• Scale
This check box controls the way the input output waveform will be
scaled after resampling. If unselected, the output waveform samples
will not be re-scaled. Sample levels over +1.0 or under -1.0 will be
clipped.
Scaling Section
• DAC Max
Imported waveforms may occupy a limited range of the DAC’s 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’s DAC.
• DAC Min
DAC Max: Imported waveforms may occupy a limited range of the
DAC’s 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’s DAC.
Preview Section
Waveform Preview Toolbar
The waveform preview toolbar includes the icons which provide different
functionality to preview the waveform. For details, see “Preview Section”
on page -55.
• Show Next Waveform Preview
This check box affects the behavior of the preview for the next
waveform. If selected, a preview of the imported waveform is displayed
when a waveform file is imported. You can leave this check box
unselected to speed up the import of large waveforms.
• Save To File…
Use this button to store the waveform signals. It can be stored either in
BIN (for non IQ modes) or IQBIN (for IQ modes) formats. These files may
be reused within the Import Waveform tab.
• Send To Instrument
Use this button to send the waveform signal to the selected segments
of the selected channels. The previous running status for the target
instrument will be preserved but sampling rate may be modified
depending on the waveform requirements.
