7.8.1 Range/Page
In Edit new arbitrary waveform, a waveform is generated by applying a "range" and a "definition of
waveform" that are independent for each page. When [New Arbitrary Waveform Editing Panel] is
displayed for the first time, the present range for marker specification is applied as the range for New
arbitrary waveform editing.
The range for each page is set on the two numeric input areas under [Range].
If the ranges of two or more pages overlap together, the waveform definition of the page with larger
number (the later page) is effective. By utilizing this feature, some parts of waveforms defined on the
previous pages can be changed all at once.
Each page can be enabled/disabled independently. Click either [Enable] or [Disable] radio button to
make it selected status.
Move between pages by using button and button on the left bottom of the Arbitrary waveform
editing screen. button moves to the previous page, and button moves to the next page.
Clicking button moves you to the first active page. Clicking button moves you to the last
active page.
By entering numbers directly into the value input area between buttons and pressing Enter key, you can
jump to the specified page. Available page number is from 1 to 200.
By clicking Initialize button on the top of [New Arbitrary Waveform Editing Panel], you can initialize
the setting values for the displayed page to the default values.
To initialize setting values for all pages to the default values at once, click All-Page Clear button. Then
[Range] of each page is set to zero.
To generate the waveform on the displayed page, click Page OK button on the bottom of the page.
To arbitrary waveform editings on all pages at once, click All-Page OK button on the bottom of the page.
To return to the waveform display screen without generating a waveform, click Cancel button on the
bottom of the page.
7.8.2 Select a Waveform
Click button on the right of [Wave] on [New Arbitrary Waveform Editing Panel] to display the list
of available waveforms. Select a waveform by clicking it.
Table 7-1 shows the types of waveform that can be generated.
Table 7-1 Waveform Selection
Waveform Description
Sine Generate a sine wave by setting appropriate parameters.
Triangle Generate a triangle wave by setting appropriate parameters.
Square Generate a square wave by setting appropriate parameters.
Noise Generate a noise waveform that is different every time. It is generated based on
the random number calculation. The generated noise waveform is white noise
with the uniform distribution in amplitude.
DC Generate a waveform assuming the data within the specified range as same.
Function Define a waveform by combining various formulas.
See 7.8.3 for the setting of each parameter.
See 7.8.4 for the setting of waveform function formula.
