Agilent Technologies U2761A manual Select the Arbitrary waveform function

2 Features and Functions

1Select the Arbitrary waveform function.

Click Arb to select the Arbitrary function.

2Set the waveform period.

Select Period and use the numeric keypad or

numeric drop down to set the period for the waveform.

For example, set the period of the waveform to 10 ms.

3Set the waveform voltage limits.

Select HiLevel and Lolevel to set the high and low voltage levels that can be reached while editing the waveform. The upper limit must be greater than the lower limit.

For example, set the upper limit to 2.0 V and the lower limit to 0 V.

4Start the Arbitrary waveform editor.

Select Non Built-in Waveform from the Arbitrary’s drop down

list and click to start the Arbitrary waveform editor.

5Select the interpolation method.

Click to enable or disable linear interpolation between the user-defined points. With interpolation enabled (default), the waveform editor makes a straight-line connection between the points. With interpolation disabled, the waveform editor maintains a constant voltage level between the points and creates a “step-like’ waveform.
