Operating Examples

In this section, we will use simple examples to illustrate the basic procedures for waveform output on the AWG2021. Six examples will be given; these are listed below. Buttons and menu items to be used will be shown to the left, and a description of the corresponding operation will appear on the right.

First of all, you should make sure the power to the unit has been turned on; see

Section 1 ªStart Upº for instructions on how to do this.

Example 1: Setting the Date & Time and Adjusting the Brightness

Example 2: Output of a Waveform Using the Sample Waveform Library Disk

Example 3: Creating Files and Arbitrary Waveform Outputs

Creating a Waveform File

Creating Arbitrary Waveforms Using the Point Draw Function

Creating Waveforms Arithmetically

Creating an Equation File

Creating a Sequence File

Creating Autostep Files

Setting the Output Parameters

Setting Operation Mode and Waveform Output

Example 4: Loading and Saving Files

Example 5: Loading Waveforms From Other Instruments

Example 6: Using the Waveform Function Generator

When a detailed description of a function is needed at the operation stage, see the section dealing with that particular menu.

NOTE. These examples do not cover all of the functions and special features of the instrument. The purpose of the examples is only to give you practice in executing basic operations on the instrument.
