Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Using Waveform Markers

Using Waveform Markers

Waveform markers provide auxiliary output signals that are synchronized with a waveform segment. You
can place up to four markers on a waveform segment. However, only Marker 1 and Marker 2 can be placed
using the waveform player’s user interface (for more information, refer to

“Waveform Marker Concepts” on

page 108

).

Using markers, you can construct an output signal as a trigger to synchronize another instrument to a given
portion of a waveform. You can also place markers into a waveform sequence, either as the sequence is
being built or within an existing waveform sequence.

For instructions on verifying marker operation, see

“To Verify Marker Operation” on page 107

.

To Place a Marker at the First Point within a Waveform Segment

If you have not created a waveform segment, complete the steps in the previous sections,

“Generating the

First Waveform” on page 100

and

“Creating the First Waveform Segment” on page 100

.

1. Press

Mode

>

Dual ARB

>

Waveform Segments

.

2. Press

Load Store

.

3. Highlight a waveform segment (for example,

TTONE

).

4. Press

Waveform Utilities

>

Set Markers

>

Set Marker On First Point

.

This sets Marker 1 (selected by default) on the first point in the selected waveform segment.

To Place a Marker Across a Range of Points within a Waveform Segment

If you have not created a waveform segment, complete the steps in the previous sections,

“Generating the

First Waveform” on page 100

and

“Creating the First Waveform Segment” on page 100

.

1. Press

Mode

>

Dual ARB

>

Waveform Segments

.

2. Press

Load Store

.

3. Highlight a waveform segment (for example,

TTONE

).

4. Press

Waveform Utilities

>

Set Markers

>

Set Marker On Range Of Points

.

5. Press

First Mkr Point

>

10

>

Enter

.

6. Press

Last Mkr Point

>

163830

>

Enter

.

7. Press

Apply To Waveform

.

NOTE

The last marker point must be greater than or equal to the first marker point.

This activates Marker 1 (selected by default) from point 10 to point 163830 in the selected waveform
segment.
