Chapter 1 Quick StartTo output a stored arbitrary waveform1To output a stored arbitrary waveformThere are five built-in arbitrary waveforms stored in non-volatilememory for your use. You can output these waveforms directly fromnon-volatile memory. The following steps show you how to output an“exponential rise” waveform from memory.ShiftArb List1 Display the list of arbitrary waveforms.The list contains the five built-in arbitrary waveforms (sinc, negativeramp, exponential rise, exponential fall, and cardiac). The list may alsocontain up to four user-defined arbitrary waveform names. The firstchoice on this level is “SINC”.SINCThis message appears on the display for approximately 10 seconds.Repeat this step as needed.>>2 Move across to the EXP_RISE choice.1EXP_RISEEnter3 Select and output the displayed arbitrary waveform.Notice that the Arb annunciator turns on, indicating that the output isan arbitrary waveform. The waveform is output using the presentsettings for frequency, amplitude, and offset unless you change them.The selected waveform is now assigned to the Arb key. Wheneveryou press this key, the selected arbitrary waveform is output.1 You can also use the knob to scroll left or right through the choices in the list.See “Front-Panel Number Entry” on page 3 for more information.23
