Waveform Types and Default Parameters

Provided your WaveStation is powered on, a single waveform type is
always selected and only one waveform type is selected at a time. Each
waveform type (Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Noise, and Arb) contains
default parameters when initially selected.

NOTE: It's important to understand the relationship between the Main Waveform
Type buttons, the Waveform Signal Conditioning function buttons, and the
Save/Recall, Utility, and Help function buttons. See Combined Use of Waveform,
Function, and Configuration Buttons (on page 17).

Select waveform types by pressing the corresponding waveform button on
the Front Panel.

Sine - The default Sine waveform is set to 1 kHz frequency, 4.0 Vpp
amplitude and a 0V dc offset. The WaveStation can produce 1 μHz up
to 50 MHz (WaveStation 2052) Sine waves.

Square - The default Square waveform is set to 1 kHz frequency, 4.0
Vpp amplitude, 0V dc offset with a 50% duty cycle. The WaveStation
can produce 1 μHz to 25 MHz with variable duty cycle Square waves.

Ramp - The default Ramp waveform is set to 1 kHz frequency, 4.0 Vpp
amplitude, 0V dc offset with a 50% symmetry. The WaveStation can
produce 1 μHz to 300 kHz with variable symmetry Ramp waves.

Pulse - The default Pulse waveform is set to 1 kHz frequency, 4.0 Vpp
amplitude, 0V dc offset, 200 μs pulse width. The WaveStation can
produce 500 μHz to 5 MHz with variable pulse width and delay Pulse
waves.

Noise - The default Noise waveform is set to 2.0V Variance and 10 mV
Mean. The WaveStation can produce signal bandwidth up to 50 MHz
for Noise waves.

Arb - The default Arb waveform is set to 1 kHz frequency, 4.0 Vpp
amplitude and 0mV dc offset. The WaveStation can produce repeatable
arbitrary waveform signals with a 16K point maximum and a 5 MHz
frequency.
