F-2 AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
In actual practice, when function f(x)is expressed by n values, the differential
value f’(xi) at point x i is given by the following equation:
Ȁ(+NJ()1)(1Nj
Here, “n” is the number of waveform points and “i” is an integer in the range,
i=1, 2, ..., n.

The values at the first and last points are obtained from the following equations
rather than from the center deviation:
First point
Ȁ(1+NJ3(1))4(2)(3Nj
Last point
Ȁ(+NJ(2)4(1))3(Nj
