Custom Mode
In this mode, the user can create customized waveforms built out of specified sine wave-based
components. For example, a waveform could be 1V, 1 kHz for 2 seconds, followed by 5V, 100 Hz for 5
seconds, and then 2V, 500 Hz for 1 second. Up to 1280 distinct points can be entered, providing the
capability to create a virtually unlimited waveform set. Within this mode, there is also an amplitude
selection of 0 mV. This corresponds to an active zero voltage and is used to create off time in a voltage
waveform. Programming of this mode is done by creating/editing a list of output amplitude/frequency
points. After the desired list is entered, the waveform output is begun by clicking “Start.” Once the
waveform sequence completes, it returns to the first entry in the list and cycles through again and again
until stopped by the user.
Note: You can save output sine wave configuration files and open pre-saved files as discussed in the
following section,
