Waveform, Pattern and Sequence Waveform Output
AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveforms can be output
by selecting a waveform, pattern, or sequence file on the Setup menu screen and
loading it into the waveform memory.
You may set the run and trigger modes and the output parameters such as the clock
frequency, amplitude, offset an so on. Then, push the RUN, CH1 OUT, and ALL
MARKER OUT ON/OFF buttons on the front panel to output the waveforms in
the waveform memory. A procedure to output the waveform is outlined below:
1. Push SETUP (front)!Waveform/Sequence (bottom)!Load... (side).
Specify the file you want to output.
2. Push Run Mode (bottom)!Set the run mode in the side menu.
3. Push Trigger (bottom)!Set the trigger parameter in the side menu.
4. Push Vertical (bottom)!Set the vertical axis parameters, such as the
amplitude, in the side menu.
5. Push Horizontal (bottom)!Set the horizontal axis parameters such as the
clock frequency in the side menu.
6. Push the RUN, OUTPUT, and ALL MARKER OUT ON/OFF buttons on
the front panel.
Figure 3-7: Waveform output sequence example
During waveform output, you can make changes to an output parameter using the
shortcut controls: VERTICAL LEVEL/SCALE, VERTICAL OFFSET, and
HORIZONTAL SAMPLE RATE/SCALE.
Changes you make with the editor during waveform output are shown
immediately. Refer to Edit... on page 3-37.
