signaling rate set by the user. As a result, signaling rate will be adjusted, if
necessary, so it is consistent with the resulting time window (Time Window =
Record Length * Sampling Rate).
 Sample Rate
Indicator only. It is the final DAC conversion rate for the resulting signal. It is
automatically calculated depending on other signal parameters if the “Keep
Sample Rate” checkbox is not checked.
Marker Mode
These controls are available when the “Single Channel with Marker” or “Dual Channel
with Marker” mode is selected in the Output tab.
 Ch. 3 (Marker 1)
Marker 1 is output on Channel 3. Signaling the beginning of each segment
may be activated (Segment selection) and deactivated (None selection).
 Ch. 4 (Marker 2)
Marker 2 is output on Channel 4. Signaling the beginning of each segment
may be activated (Segment selection) and deactivated (None selection).
Scaling Section
 DAC Max
Standard 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
Standard 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.
Compilation and Panel Control Section
 Save To File
Signals can be stored in files in BIN format. These files may be reused within
the Import Waveform tab.
The waveform is always saved without applying
corrections. Also, the waveform of the data signal (Clock
Toggle button is set to ‘D’) and not the clock signal (Clock
Toggle button is set to ‘C/2’ or ‘C/4’) is saved.
 Send To Instrument
Signal will be transferred 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.
 Set Defaults
All the waveform parameters are set automatically to their corresponding
default values.
 Abort
This button allows canceling signal calculation at any moment. It only shows
up during signal compilation.
