Creating a Standard Function Waveform
When you select the Standard Waveform item, a function waveform is created in the area between the specified vertical bar cursors, or a waveform is created through calculation of the original waveform and a function waveform.
When you select Standard Waveform from the bottom menu, the following items are displayed in the side menu. Some of the items will change depending on the settings. For example, if you press Setting in the bottom menu and Horiz. Unit in the side menu and then select Point, the Cycle item appears in the menu; if you press Setting and Horiz. Unit and select Time, the Frequency item appears in the menu.
Type | Select the type of function waveform |
Cycle | Set the cycle |
Frequency | Set the frequency |
Amplitude | Set the amplitude |
Offset | Set the offset |
Execute | Execute the process (draw the waveform) |
In the following section, each of these items will be discussed in detail.
Selecting Function Waveform Type and Calculation Method. The Type item is used to select the type of function waveform and the calculation method to be created. There are six choices for waveform type and three choices for calculation method, making a total of 18 different ways in which this item can be set.

Sine | The data between the vertical bar cursors is replaced by a |
| sine wave |
Add Sine | A sine wave is added to the data between the vertical bar |
| cursors |
Mul Sine | The data between the vertical bar cursors is multiplied by a |
| sine wave |
