Chapter 17 Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator (Option) RIGOL
MSO5000 User's Guide 17-11
maximum number of editable points supported by the system is 16,384 (16
kpts).
 Linear interpolation
Press Linear Interp to enable or disable the linear interpolation between the
defined points of the waveform.
 ON: the waveform editor connects two points using a straight line.
 OFF: the waveform editor will keep a constant voltage level between two
points and create a ladder-like waveform.
 Edit points
Press Edit Points to enter the point editing menu. You can specify the voltage
value for each waveform point to define the waveforms.
 Current Point
Press PointX, then rotate the multifunction knob or use the pop-up
numeric keypad to select the points to be edited. The available range is
from 1 to the number of initial points.
 Voltage
Press Voltage, then rotate the multifunction knob or use the pop-up
numeric keypad to set the voltage value of the current point. Its available
range is from -2.5 V to +2.5 V.
 Insert
Press Insert to insert a new editable point in the middle position between
the current editing point and the next editing point. The number of initial
points adds 1 automatically. You can press Insert continuously to increase
the editable points gradually.
 Delete
Press Delete to delete the current point from the waveform, and connect
the remaining points with the current interpolation method.
Note: The 1
st
Point cannot be deleted.
 Zoom
Press Zoom continuously to enable or disable the zoom function of
horizontal time base.
 Apply
Press Apply to apply the current settings for the currently edited arbitrary
waveforms and output the edited waveforms.
 Save the arbitrary waveform
Press Save to enter the file saving interface. Please refer to descriptions in
"Store and Load" to save the currently edited waveform file to the internal or
external memory in "*.arb" format (you can overwrite the original file or save
the currently edited waveform again).
