Output Configuration

Introduction

This section contains the information to help you configure the U2761A for outputting waveforms. You may not need to change some of the parameters discussed here, but they are provided so that you will have accessibility when needed.

Output Function

The U2761A can output five standard waveforms (Sine, Square, Ramp, Triangle, and Pulse), and DC. You can select one of the three built-in Arbitrary waveforms or create your own custom waveforms. In addition, you can internally modulate Sine, Square, Ramp, Triangle, and Arbitrary waveforms using AM, FM, PM, FSK, PSK, or ASK. The linear or logarithmic frequency sweeping is available for Sine, Square, Ramp, Triangle, and Arbitrary waveforms.

The table below shows which output functions are allowed with modulation and sweep. Each “V” indicates a valid combination. If you change to a function that is not applicable for modulation, or sweep; then the modulation or mode will be disabled.
