Custom waveforms using EasyWave and CSV Templates

PublishTime：2021-08-18

●Arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) are programmable voltage sources. They can be extremely useful tools when your application requires the output of waveforms that contain complicated features or shapes. Many AWGs come pre-loaded with arbitrary waveforms like cardiac, voice, and a host of trigonometric functions. These “built-in” waveforms can be useful, but the real power of an AWG is the ability to build custom waveforms.
●In many cases, AWGs have basic software packages that allow you to create and edit simple waveforms by applying simple mathematics to basic wave shapes like Sine or Square waves. This technique is useful when you are building composite waveforms using basic shapes or if you wish to “hand draw” a waveform, but what if you want to create or edit a more complicated waveform?
●Most AWGs can be programmed directly using a remote computer connection, USB or Ethernet connection from the computer to the instrument, and a software package that can communicate to the instrument. Some common programs include.NET, Python, and LabVIEW. While this configuration is extremely powerful, it is cumbersome to develop quickly. To send a custom arbitrary waveform you need to build the application and deal with formatting the arbitrary waveform before you can get actually start using the AWG for the intended application.
●In this application note, we are going to describe a simple method of creating a custom arbitrary waveform by creating a Comma Separated Variable (CSV) template, edit and save the CSV file, and finally how to transfer the CSV file to a SIGLENT SDG2000X
series arbitrary waveform generator. The theory can then be applied to any generator that has a similar arbitrary waveform generator software package.
