To Output Arbitrary Waveform
DG1000Z can output built-in or user-defined arbitrary waveforms from a single
channel or from two channels at the same time. It not only provides 160 kinds of
built-in arbitrary waveforms stored in the internal non-volatile memory but also
allows users to edit the arbitrary waveform which can contain 8 to 16384 (16k) data
points, namely 8pts to 16kpts. Users can store the edited arbitrary waveform in the
internal or external memory (*.RAF file).
DG1000Z provides 8Mpts standard memory and 16Mpts optional memory for the
arbitrary waveform. Users can edit the arbitrary waveform using PC software and
output it after downloading it to the instrument via the remote interface or reading it
from the USB storage device.
To Enable Arbitrary Waveform
Press Arb to enable arbitrary waveform function and open the operation menu of
arbitrary waveform.
1. Freq/Period: set the output Frequency/Period of the arbitrary waveform. This
menu is only displayed when the frequency output mode is selected.
2. Sample Rate: set the output Sample Rate of the arbitrary waveform. This menu
is only displayed when the sample rate output mode is selected.
3. Ampl/HiLevel: set the Amplitude/High Level of the arbitrary waveform.
4. Offset/LoLevel: set the Offset/Low Level of the arbitrary waveform.
5. Start Phase: set the Start Phase of the arbitrary waveform.
6. Align Phase: refer to “Align Phase”.
7. Arb Mode: switch the arbitrary waveform output mode between “Frequency”
and “Sample Rate”.
8. Select Wform: select DC, the built-in arbitrary waveforms, the arbitrary
waveforms stored in internal or external memory or the volatile waveform.
9. Edit Wform: edit the selected waveform of the current channel or create a new
waveform.
Please refer to “To Output Basic Waveform” to configure the parameters and
output of the channels. This chapter will focus on “Sample Rate”, “Output Mode”,
“Select Waveform” and “Edit Waveform”.
