Functional Overview

VX4792 User Manual
The Functional Overview section provides the information you need to operate
the VX4792 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. We suggest that you read this
section before attempting to produce waveforms.
Within this section you will find descriptions of the front-panel controls and
indicators, the main operating parameters and modes, equations, and internal
diagnostics/calibration:
H Connectors and Indicators (page 2–2) provides a brief description of each
front panel connector and indicator. For detailed electrical specifications, see
Appendix E, Specifications.
H Beginning with Generating Waveforms (page 2–3), you will find descrip-
tions of the main operating parameters and modes. These subsections
provide detailed information about waveform files, memory and data length
considerations, and specific operating modes.
H Equations (page 2–18) provides detailed instructions for producing
waveforms using equations. Several sample waveforms and their equations
are included.
H Diagnostics and Calibration (page 2–29) describes how to invoke the
internal diagnostics or calibration routines, and how to read the test results.
Detailed programming information is not usually provided for topics within this
section. Programming Examples (page 2–39) contains a group of program
examples that show how to perform specific tasks. Syntax and Commands,
beginning on page 3–1, provides a detailed description of each programming
command.
