: Download waveform data to the device.
: Smooth Drawing Mode. You can draw any waveform shape using the left-mouse.
: Line Drawing Mode. You can click on the waveform to draw a straight line from the previous point.
: Zoom tools. To zoom the time axis in or out, click the + or - zoom button and then click on the
waveform area. Click the 100% button to restore the time axis to its original scale.
: Standard waveform shapes. Draw a standard waveform with the settings specified in
the numerical controls below the toolbar. The current waveform will be erased.
: Cycles. The number of cycles to draw. This control is used in conjunction with the
Standard waveform shapes buttons. Select one of the standard waveform shapes and then enter the
number of cycles, and it will draw the requested number of cycles of the waveform.
: Minimum. When one of the Standard waveform shapes buttons is pressed, this control
sets the minimum signal level.
: Maximum. When one of the Standard waveform shapes buttons is pressed, this
control sets the maximum signal level.
: Duty cycle. When a square, triangular or ramp waveform is selected using one of
the Standard waveform shapes buttons, this control sets the duty cycle of the signal. Duty cycle is
defined as the time that the signal spends above zero volts divided by the total cycle time. Thus, a
symmetrical square or triangular wave has a duty cycle of 50%. Reducing the duty cycle shortens the
positive part of the cycle and lengthens the negative part, and increasing the duty cycle does the
opposite.
Note:
The Frequency, Amplitude, Offset parameter of the ARB waveform can not be regulated in this
WaveEditor software, but it can be done by tuning on the device directly (refer to above Chapter 3.1)
after the waveform data is downloaded to device (refer to below Chapter 3.3).
Do not use the WaveEditor and the DSO software at the same time, it will cause errors.
3.5. Output Arbitrary Waveform
1. Press the Wave Gen button on the front panel to enable the AWG function and enter the Wave Gen
function menu.
2. Connect the device with PC which has installed the WaveEditor software using a USB cable.
3. Double click the WaveEditor icon to open the program.
4. Select a waveform file or draw an arbitrary waveform; then click the in toolbar and select
waveform data download position to download waveform data to the device.
