3 Set the waveform period.
Press the
Cycle Period
softkey to set the
time
boundaries for the
waveform
. The time value of the last point that can be defined in the
waveform must be less than the specified cycle period.
For this example, set the period of the waveform to 10 ms.
4 Set the waveform voltage limits.
Press the High V Limit and Low V Limit softkeys to set the upper and
lower voltage levels that can be reached while editing the waveform.
The upper limit must be greater than the lower limit. By default,
Point #1 is set equal to the upper limit and Point #2 is set equal to the
lower limit.
For this example, set the upper limit to 3.0 V and the lower limit to 0 V.
5 Select the interpolation method.
Press the Interp softkey to enable or disable linear interpolation between
waveform points (this feature is available from the front panel only).
With interpolation enabled (default), the waveform editor makes a
straight-line connection between points. With interpolation disabled,
the waveform editor maintains a constant voltage level between points
and creates a “step-like” waveform.
For this example, turn on linear interpolation.
