Options: SINusoid
SQUare
TRIangle
NOISe (Pseudo-Random Noise)
ANOise (Noise added to the current waveform)
Start Address
Type: Numeric. The MIN and MAX forms both set the address to 1
Range: 1 to 4,000,000
Rounding: to integer value
Length
Type: Numeric.
Range
SIN: 16 to 65,536; divisible by 4
SQU: 2 to 65,536; divisible by 2
TRI: 16 to 65,536; divisible by 4
NOIS: 16 to 65,536
ANO: 16 to 65,536
Rounding: to integer value.
Scale
Type: Numeric. MIN sets the scale to 1; MAX sets the scale to 100
Range: 1 to 100 (See considerations)
Rounding; to integer value.
Command Type: Setting only
Setting
Syntax: :ARBitrary:PREDefined<ws> <shape>, <start>, <length>,<scale>
Examples: :ARB:PRED SIN,1,1e3,100
Considerations:
1) The start address and the length must meet the specification that. Start address + Length - 1 ≤ 131,072
2) The 'scale' refers to the scaling of the waveform as a percentage of full scale. A scale of 100% will, under the correct
conditions, generate a waveform whose data values range from -8191 to +8191. These 'correct conditions' are set by the
'offset' value. This offset is the value of the data at the start address, and determines the maximum scale settable. The
following table shows the data values required in order to achieve maximum scale.
SHAPE DATA
SIN 0
SQU 0
TRI 0
NOIS 0
