To output a stored arbitrary waveform There are five built-in arbitrary waveforms stored in non-volatile memory
for your use. You can output these waveforms directly from non-volatile
memory. The following steps show you how to output an “exponential rise”
waveform from memory.
Shift Arb List 1 Display the list of arbitrary waveforms.
The list contains the five built-in arbitrary waveforms (sinc, negative
ramp, exponential rise, exponential fall, and cardiac). The list may also
contain up to four user-defined arbitrary waveform names. The first
choice on this level is “SINC”.
SINC
This message appears on the display for appro ximately 10 seconds.
Repeat this step as needed.
> > 2 Move across to the EXP_RISE choice. 1
EXP_RISE
Enter 3 Select and output the displayed arbitrary waveform.
Notice that the Arb annunciator turns on, indicating that the output is an
arbitrary waveform. The waveform is output using the present settings
for frequency, amplitude, and offset unless you change them.
The selected waveform is now assigned to the Arb key. Whenever y ou
press this key, the selected arbitrary waveform is output.
1You can also use the knob to scroll left or right through the choices in the list.
