5.6.2 Example of an Arbitrary Waveform
(in this case: R&S®HMC8043)
Fig. 5.9: Arbitrary-editor example (excerpt) HMExplorer software
Alternatively, you can also use the arbitrary software module
of the HMExplorer software to create an arbitrary waveform.
This allows you to create each point of a waveform by use of
the editor. You can add or delete individual points by using
the "+" or "–" function. With the function INTERPOLATION
the defined arbitrary points can be output interpolated.
Once all arbitrary points have been created, the created
signal can be transferred to the instrument via interface by
using the menu item TRANSFER. The menu TRANSFER
opens and allows you to select the respective R&S®HMC
channel and the repetitions.

Additionally, you can activate the output to issue the signal
directly at the output and to view it on an oscilloscope, for
instance (see fig. 5.11).

please see the manual of the HMExplorer software.
