WaveXpress Software
Signal Generators
Features & Benefits
■ Import waveforms from B&K scopes, AWGs, or load them from CSV or text files
■ Autoscan function automatically detects instruments connected via RS232, USB, or GPIB
■ Generate waveforms from scratch with drawing and editing tools.
■ Insert commonly used waveforms and different types of noise
■ Numerous transformations for changing a waveform. User-defined transformations can be
added in the python programming language
■ Multi-language support: additional languages can be added by the user
■ Fast zooming and panning with mouse
■ Dialog settings are remembered for faster repetitive work
■ Undo/redo functions allow quick experimentation

WaveXpress is a comprehensive stand-alone
application with several transformation
options, allowing users to easily create
complex waveforms. Modify a waveform
downloaded from a scope or construct a new
waveform using powerful and intuitive
editing tools. Quickly download them to
your AWG and begin testing your circuits
and systems moments later. The WaveXpress
program can also be used for general-pur-
pose waveform editing without requiring
any instruments to be connected to the
computer.
