Agilent Technologies U2761A manual Symmetry Ramp Wave, 9Ramp wave duty cycles

2 Features and Functions

Symmetry (Ramp Wave)

This configuration applies to Ramp wave only. Symmetry represents the amount of time per cycle that the Ramp wave is rising (assuming that the waveform is not inverted).

•The symmetry percentage is stored in volatile memory where the symmetry is set to default 100% upon power-off or after a remote interface reset.

•The symmetry setting is stored when you change from Ramp wave to another function. Thus, when you return to the Ramp function, the previous symmetry is used.

•If you select a Ramp waveform as the modulating waveform for AM, FM, or PM, the symmetry setting does not apply.

Soft Front Panel Operation

After selecting Ramp at the top panel as shown in Figure 2- 2, on the Symmetry panel below, input the desired symmetry value.
