Tektronix MDO32 User Manual

Field or control Description
Duty Cycle Sets the duty cycle of the square wave using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
A
vailable when the Waveform Type = Square.
Frequency Sets the frequency of the waveform using the keypad or multipurpose knob. The frequency range is
0.1 Hz to 50 MHz, in increments of 0.1 Hz.
Period Sets the period of the waveform using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
Amplitude Sets the amplitude of the waveform using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
Offset Sets the offset of the waveform using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
High Level Sets the High signal amplitude of the waveform using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
Low Level Sets the low signal amplitude of the waveform using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
Load Impedance Selects either 50 Ω or High Z (1 MΩ) output load impedance.
Load impedance scales the vertical settings to show what the load would see based on the load
impedance. Since the AFG is a 50 Ω source, for most accurate operation, set the load impedance to
50 Ω and set the input channel to 50 Ω.
Add Noise
Toggles noise on and off. Set the amount of noise to add to the output signal using the keypad or the
multipurpose controls.
When Modulation is on, Add Noise is not available.
OK, Load Waveform Loads the selected waveform.
Browse Browse to the desired waveform.
Save Waveform Opens a Save As menu for saving AFG waveforms to internal waveform slots or to an external file
location.
Modulation menu fields and controls
Note: The modulation menu is not available when the W
aveform Type is set to DC, Pulse, Noise, or Cardiac.
Field or control Description
Modulation Toggles the modulation On or Off.
Modulation Type Toggle between AM or FM modulation. The default modulation is AM.
Frequency Sets the frequency of the modulation using the keypad or multipurpose knob.
Modulation Shape
Select the modulation shape from the drop-down list.
