Generating arbitrary waveforms using the Tabor WW1074. Also see the Tabor user manual (under 'IBEX Manuals' on control computer).
USING ARBCONNECT SOFTWARE:
Composers > Wave (brings up the WaveComposer panel to edit waveforms) You can create as many segments as you like here.
WaveComposer:
You need to use a combination of the samples/sec (found in Arbitrary/Sequence panel) and the 'wavelength' which defines the number of points on the horizontal axis. The wavelength box defaults to 1024 points in horizontal. So for a 1MHz sine wave with 100 points defined per wavelength, you could use 100MS/sec (in Arbitrary/Sequence) and then choose to use 100 points in the 'wavelength' box.
Note you can save a waveform and insert it into the 'equation' option.
For a multi-segment waveform: After defining each segment: -> hit 'DOWNLOAD' button to save to software
After defining all required segments: In Arbitrary/Sequence panel:
- Make sure the samples/sec is set correctly
- Select SCLK (internal clock)
- Sequence > Mixed
- Memory Management > Waveform Studio
- Close
In Main Panel:
- Parameters > Amplitude
- Function > Arbitrary
- Run Mode > Continuous (if that's required)
- Channel > (Choose your channel)
To run:
- Output Control > On/Off toggle
USING PYTHON CONTROL COMMANDS:
Note that you can test basic SCPI commands in ArbConnect by going to System > Command Editor which is a good 'half way house' during development.
