Figure 2-37: Standard sine wave function created in the Waveform Editor
Math Operation
Do the following steps to create a new waveform by multiplying the current sine
waveform with a second sine function waveform:
1. Push the Operation bottom button. The instrument displays the Operation
pop–up menu.
2. Select Standard Waveform... from the pop–up menu by using the general
purpose knob. By default, Standard Waveform... is selected.
3. Push the OK side button. The instrument displays the standard function dialog
box as shown in Figure 2-36.
4. Turn the general purpose knob to highlight the Sine item in the Type field.
Note that Sine is the default type menu selection.
5. Select Operation in the pop–up menu using the b button.
NOTE. The waveform amplitude shown in the Waveform Editor does not directly
correspond to the output waveform voltage amplitude. The levels in the Waveform
Editor correspond to the instrument 8–bit digital–to–analog convertor (DAC)
resolution. A signal with a -1.000 to +1.000 range utilizes the full resolution of the
DAC circuit.
The actual output signal values (peak–to–peak and offset) are set in the Setup
menu. The Setup menu output values are multipliers, and assume that the edited
waveform signal uses the full ±1.000 waveform range.
