RIGOL Chapter 17 Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator (Option)
17-18 MSO5000 User's Guide
When the sweep type is set to "Step", this menu is enabled and can be
settable. Press Step number, then rotate the multifunction knob or
use the pop-up numeric keypad to set the step value. By default, it is 2. Its
available range is from 2 to 1000.
 Set the trigger source
The trigger sources of the sweep can be Internal or Manual. When the
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator receives a trigger signal, a sweep
output is generated, and then it waits for another trigger signal.
Press Trig Source and rotate the multifunction knob to select the
desired trigger source, and then press down the knob to select it. You can
also press Trig Source continuously or enable the touch screen to select it.
The available trigger sources include Internal and Manual.
 Internal: the Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator outputs
continuous sweep waveforms.
 Manual: when you press Manual Trig for one time, one sweep is
immediately launched for the corresponding channel.
3. Set the Sweep Time
Press Sweep Time, then rotate the multifunction knob or use the pop-up
numeric keypad to set the sweep time. By default, it is 1 s. Its available range is
from 1 ms to 500 s. After modifying the sweep time, the Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generator will restart to output from the specified "Start Freq".
4. Set the Return Time
Return time indicates the time that the output signal restores from "End Freq" to
"Start Freq" after the Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator sweeps from
"Start Freq" to "End Freq" and the "End Keep" time expires.
Press Return Time, then rotate the multifunction knob or use the pop-up
numeric keypad to set the return time. By default, it is 0 s. Its available range is
from 0 s to 500 s.
Burst
The built-in Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator of MSO5000 series oscilloscope
supports outputting the burst waveforms with a specified number of cycles. It
supports using internal and manual trigger sources to control the output of the burst
waveforms. Two burst types are supported: N Cycle and Infinite.
Press Settings  Type, and rotate the multifunction knob to select "Burst",
and then press down the knob to select it. You can also press Type continuously or
enable the touch screen to select it.
