AWG mode general overview
The following illustration and table provide a high-level overview of the AWG mode.
Screen element Description
1. Play/Stop button Starts and stops playing the waveform. The Play button icon changes to indicate the play status of the
waveform. See Run state control on page 21. When a waveform is playing, it is only present at the output
connectors if the following conditions are met.
■
The channel is enabled.
■
The All Outputs Off is not active (outputs are connected).
2. Workspace tabs The workspace tabs provide access to all of the instrument functions.
■
Home returns the workspace area to the channel plot display.
■
Setup displays the setup controls for channel, clocks, triggers, and system synchronization using the
AWGSYNC01.
■
Waveform displays the waveform editor controls to create and edit waveforms.
■
Sequence displays the workspace area to create waveform sequences (Option 03).
■
Capture/Playback displays the workspace area to import baseband I/Q data files (captured from an
instrument such as a spectrum analyzer or oscilloscope) and compile them into a waveform for playout.
■
Utilities displays controls for system information (including diagnostics and calibration), preferences,
help and support. Utilities are global instrument settings that are maintained in non-volatile memory
when the application is closed or the instrument powered off. These settings are not saved and recalled
with setup files nor are they impacted by restoring the default setup.
3. Channel enable Enables the channel output. Internally connects the channel and marker output connectors to the
instrument. The All Outputs Off feature overrides the channel enable control.
