The Graphical Waveform Editor
3-64 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Expand...
The Expand... command horizontally expands (scales) the edit area waveform and
marker data by a specified amount in the range of 2 to 100. Expansion starts at the
left cursor position. All data in the edit area expands as required for the amount of
expansion.
1. Move the cursors to specify the edit area to expand.
2. Push Operation (bottom)!Expand... (pop–up)!OK (side).
3. Push the By side button. Specify the amount of expansion by using the general
purpose knob or numeric buttons. You may specify any integer from 2 to 100.
4. Push the Exec side button to expand the edit area data starting at the left cursor
position.
Vertical Scale...
The Vertical Scale... command vertically shrinks or expands the edit area
waveform data by a specified factor value, around a specified origin value. The
Factor value range is -100 to 100 in 0.01 increments. The Origin value range is -1
to 1 in 0.0001 increments.
Do the following steps to vertically scale the waveform data:
1. Move the cursors to specify the edit area to scale.
2. Push Operation (bottom)!Vertical Scale... (pop–up)!OK (side).
3. Push the Factor side button.
This is the value by which you want to multiply the edit area waveform data.
Specify the scale using the general purpose knob or the numeric buttons. A
negative value of -100 to -1.01 inverts and rescales the signal. A value from -1
to -0.01 inverts and reduces signal vertical values.
4. Push the Origin side button.
Specify the center of scale using the general purpose knob or the numeric
buttons.
5. Push the Exec side button.
The cursor–to–cursor data vertically expands or shrinks with the center at the
Origin position.
