Transferring Arbitrary Waveform Data to Waveform Generators
Application Notes
Function Waveform Generators are used to simulate the signals on the input of a device. A speaker test might require a sweep through an audio band over several seconds, or a controller may need different pulse waveforms to simulate varying frequencies of a clock. However, real-world signals are not always perfect sine waves or pulses. It can be more useful to create a custom waveform or capture a real waveform, modify it and recreate the waveform with a function/arbitrary waveform generator. You may even have a complex waveform or a waveform file that was provided for you.
We will review three methods of transferring arbitrary waveform data to 33200A Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators: front panel, Keysight Technologies, Inc. IntuiLink Waveform Editor, and programming.
