NOTE. The waveform amplitude shown in the Waveform Editor does not directly
correspond to the output waveform voltage amplitude. The levels in the
Waveform Editor correspond to the instrument 8-bit digital-to-analog convertor
(DAC) resolution. A signal with a –1.000 to +1.000 range utilizes the full
resolution of the DAC circuit.
The actual output signal values (peak-to-peak and offset) are set in the Setup
menu. The Setup menu output values are multipliers, and assume that the edited
waveform signal uses the full
±
1.000 waveform range.
Do the following steps to create a new waveform by multiplying the current sine
waveform with a second sine function waveform:
1. Push the Operation bottom button. The instrument displays the Operation
pop-up menu.
2. Select Standard Waveform... from the pop-up menu by using the general
purpose knob. By default, Standard Waveform... is selected.
3. Push the OK side button. The instrument displays the standard function
dialog box as shown in Figure 2–36.
4. Turn the general purpose knob to highlight the Sine item in the Type field.
Note that Sine is the default type menu selection.
5. Select Operation in the pop-up menu using the
b button.
6. Select Mul item using the general purpose knob.
7. Push the
b button once to select the Cycle field.
8. Use the general purpose knob to set the number of cycles to 20.0.
9. Push the
b button twice to select the Amplitude field.
10. Use the general purpose knob to set the amplitude to 1.0.
11. Push the OK side button to perform the multiply operation. This action
multiplies the sine wave in the waveform editor by the sine wave you have
specified in the Standard Function dialog box. Figure 2–38 shows the
resulting waveform.
