1-2 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
32.4 M–word waveform memory (62.8 M optional):AWG710B
16.2 M–word waveform memory (32.4 M optional): AWG710
Two arbitrary marker outputs
Five waveform editors (see Table 1-1)
FG mode to generate a standard functional waveform easily
Waveform Mixing mode to generate a mixing two-signals digitally.
Synchronous operation mode to generate 2 channel signals by two
AWG710Bs. (AWG710B only)
Additional Features
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator provides the following
additional features:
An Ethernet port for using the NFS (Network File System) and/or FTP link.
Refer to Ethernet Networking on page 3-162 for information.
A GPIB interface that can be used for remotely controlling the
AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator and for transferring the
waveform data from the external oscilloscopes.
Refer to Connecting to a GPIB Network on page 3-160 for information on
setting the GPIB parameters.
Refer to the AAWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Programmer Manual for information on the remote control commands.
Refer to Capturing Waveforms on page 3-181 for information about
transferring waveforms from the external oscilloscopes to the
AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
A port on the rear panel for connecting a 101– or 106– type keyboard to the
AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator. You can input values
or text with the keyboard instead of using the numeric keypad on the
front–panel. Refer to External Keyboards on page 3-155 for information.
Table 1-1: AWG710&AWG710B waveform editors
Editor Description
Waveform Creates analog waveform data in graphic or tabular form.
Pattern Creates analog waveform data in timing and table form.
Sequence Creates sequences of waveforms by combining the waveform files
created with the Waveform and/or Pattern Editors.
Text Edits plain ASCII–format waveform files. For example, you can use
the Text editor to edit ASCII–format waveform files that are read from
an external device.
Equation Creates files with equations and compiles them into waveform files.
