FG Mode
AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-239
Frequency and Resolution While operating in FG mode, the output frequency determines the number of dat a
points used to generate the waveform data and the mark er data fo r one per iod. The
resolution of Pulse Duty cycle ratio and the width of Marker position
corresponding to the number of data points are shown in the following table.
Save/Restore Setup You can save and restore the instrument output setup information on FG mode to
a setup file. Setup file includes waveform type, marker signals and all the output
setup parameters. Save/Restore operat ion is executed on the Save/Restore menu of
the SETUP screen in AWG mode. A saved setup file contains the setting
information on both AWG mode and eac h Extended Opera tion mode. Refe r to The
Save/Restore Menu on page 3-48.
Operation Flow When the AWG710&AWG710B is in AWG mode, change to FG mode. Reference
page 3-234.
1. Push Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp, Pulse or DC (bottom) button to select
the waveform.
2. Set the output parameters accordin g to the waveform selected.
Duty is added to the side menu for Pulse mode.
Offset is only used for setup of DC level. Of fset is s elected o n the DC side
menu.

1: 20% position of 1 waveform period
2: 50% position of 1 waveform period
3: 52% position of 1 waveform period because of number of data points.
