WaveStation

WSta-OM-E RevA

Initial Function Settings

Each function (Modulate, Sweep, Burst, Save/Recall, Utility, and Help)

contains default settings when initially selected.

Specifically, the top three buttons are Waveform Signal Conditioning

buttons and apply Mod, Sweep, or Burst functions to the waveform

you've selected. Meanwhile, the lower three, Save/Recall, Utility, and

Help, are for various WaveStation tools and configurations along with

some Help information.

Note: When using WaveStation (or any signal generator) it's important

to understand the relationship between the Main Waveform Type

buttons, the Waveform Signal Conditioning function buttons, and the

Save/Recall, Utility, and Help function buttons. See Combined Use of

Waveform, Function, and Configuration Buttons (on page 23).

Select a function by pressing the corresponding function button on the

Front Panel (on page 13).

Waveform Signal Conditioning Buttons

 Modulate - Press the Mod button and the modulated waveforms

you've created using the WaveStation are generated. Waveforms

are modulated using AM, FM, ASK, FSK, and PM.

Note: Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be modulated,

while Pulse, Noise, and DC cannot.

 Sweep - Press the Sweep button and the WaveStation produces a

signal with variable frequencies.

Note: Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be swept,

while Pulse, Noise, and DC cannot.
