Keysight M8195A - Standard Waveform Tab

2.10 Standard Waveform Tab
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 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.
