To Output Arbitrary Waveform
DS1000Z allows users to define arbitrary waveforms and to save them to the internal
or external memory. The internal memory can store 10 arbitrary waveforms at most.
1 to 16384 points (namely 1 pts to 16 kpts) can be included in the user-defined
waveforms.
1. Output
Press Output to turn the signal output on or off.
2. To set the frequency
Press Frequency to set the frequency of the current signal. For the setting
methods, refer to “
Parameter Setting Methods”. The range available is from
100 mHz to 10 MHz.
3. To set the amplitude
Press Amplitude to set the amplitude of the current signal. For the setting
methods, refer to “
Parameter Setting Methods”. When the impedance is set
to HighZ, the range available is from 20 mVpp to 5Vpp or when the impedance is
set to 50 Ω, the range available is from 10 mVpp to 2.5 Vpp.
4. To set the DC offset voltage
Press Offset to set the DC offset of the current signal. For the setting methods,
refer to “
Parameter Setting Methods”. When the impedance is set to HighZ,
the range available is from (-2.5 V+current amplitude/2) to (2.5 V-current
amplitude/2) and when the impedance is set to 50 Ω, the range available is
(-1.25 V+current amplitude/2) to (1.25 V-current amplitude/2).
Note: The offset value can only maintain three effective digits. For example,
when the amplitude is set to 10 mV (the impedance is 50 Ω), the offset range
calculated is -1.245 V to 1.245 V, but the actual offset range is -1.24 V to 1.24 V.
5. To set the start phase
Press Start Phase to set the start phase of the current signal. For the setting
methods, refer to “
Parameter Setting Methods”. The range available is from
0° to 360°.
