Tutorial
The Agilent 33120A is capable of producing a variety of signal
waveshapes. In order to achieve the greatest performance from the
function generator, it may be helpful if you learn more about the internal
operations of the instrument. This chapter describes basic signal
generation concepts and gives specific details on the internal operations
of the function generator.

You can use an arbitrary waveform generator in a variety of
applications where it might be otherwise difficult or impossible to
generate complex output waveforms. With an arbitrary waveform
generator, signal imperfections such as rise time, ringing, glitches,
noise, and random timing variations can be easily simulated in a
controlled manner.
Physics, chemistry, biomedicine, electronics, mechanics, and other fields
can benefit from the versatility of an arbitrary waveform generator.
Wherever things vibrate, pump, pulse, bubble, burst, or change with
time in any way, there are possible applications — limited only by your
ability to provide waveform data.

is designed to make it easy to create
and output arbitrary waveforms for the 33120A.
