Generate Arbitrary Waveforms in Data Acquisition Device

Generate Arbitrary Waveforms in Data Acquisition Device

Application Notes

The U2300A Series and U2500A Series data acquisition device (DAQ) families are equipped with two analog output channels capable of handling high sampling waveforms. The DAQ devices can be used in numerous applications that do not need a current drive of more than 5 mA. This application note covers the inner workings of how waveforms and arbitrary waveforms are formed. This note also aims to teach you the working aspects of the DAQ Analog Output Application Program, and what you should and should not do when configuring the DAQ analog output application program to generate waveforms.

 

Working with Arbitrary Waveforms

To fully understand the inner workings of how waveforms and arbitrary waveforms are formed, you will have to know the hardware specifications of your DAQ device to a certain level of detail.

 

To start forming arbitrary waveforms, you will first need to:

  • Identify the sampling rate and the frequency of which you will want to form the waveform, and
  • Set the number of points that is to dictate the accuracy of the waveform
