Creating a Custom Multitone Waveform
Using the Multitone Setup table editor, you can define, modify and store user-defined multitone
waveforms. Multitone waveforms are generated by the dual arbitrary waveform generator.
This section teaches you how to perform the following tasks:
• “Initializing the Multitone Setup Table Editor” on page 366
• “Configuring Tone Powers and Tone Phases” on page 366
• “Removing a Tone” on page 366
• “Generating the Waveform” on page 367
• “Configuring the RF Output” on page 367
