Standard Waveshapes
Waveforms can be created using the standard waveshapes available in
HP Bench Link/Arb. Each waveshape is inserted as a segment in the
waveform edit window, allowing you to vary the size and number of
segments in the window or to make the entire waveform one segment.
Selecting a standard waveshape from the Waveforms Menu will display
the New Segment dialog box. This dialog allows you to specify pattern
characteristics and preview the waveshape before it is inserted as a
segment in the waveform edit window. Click the PREVIEW button to
display the waveshape while making changes. If you wish to change the
type of waveshape currently selected, click the Waveform drop-down list
and choose another. The waveform characteristics automatically update
to reflect the new pattern you have chosen. Click the DEFAULTS button
to return HP BenchLink/Arb’s default settings for the selected waveshape.
Clicking a standard waveshape icon on the Palette Bar will automatically
insert one segment of the specified waveshape into the waveform edit
window. The characteristics of the selected waveshape are set from
default parameters. To edit a standard waveshape segment, double-click
on it.
