Base Frequency |
All signal frequencies will be derived from this frequency. |
Enabled |
Check this if you want to use this channel for output. |
Signal Frequency |
The signal frequency is derived from the base frequency. It may be the base frequency itself or a fraction of it (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). |
Filter |
Select the hardware filter you want to use. |
Wave form |
Select the signal you want to generate. The signal type depending setup is done below. |
Signal setup |
Each signal type has a special set of options that can be used to specify the output signal:
- Sine options
- Phase shift
- Amplitude
- Offset
- Rect options
- Phase shift
- High level defines the ratio of the high part of the rect vs the low part.
- Amplitude
- Offset
- Triangle options:
- Phase shift
- Rising defines the ratio of rising part vs. falling part.
- Amplitude
- Offset
- Sawtooth options:
- Phase shift
- Amplitude
- Offset
- Direction
- Sinc (sin(x)/x) options:
- Phase shift
- Amplitude
- Offset
- Level options:
- Level defines a constant voltage level to generate.

Start/Stop |
After setup is complete press this button to begin signal calculation and start the card. The button will stay in pressed state until you click it again to stop the output. |
Store setup |
Use this button to store the current Easy Generator setup to a file. |
Load setup |
Load a previously stored Easy Generator setup. |
Close |
