Easy Generator



The Easy Generator dialog offers an easy way to setup an output card. Select the desired wave form and the frequency of the output signal and SBench 6 will calculate the necessary signals, set up the output mode and sampling clock to best-match your input.
Using the Easy Generator SBench 6 will run in continuous replay mode repeating the output of the generated signals until the user stops it.


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 Closes the dialog and stops a running card. The settings made by the Easy Generator are preserved in the different hardware setup dialogs. The generated signals are also available in the input channels dialog.
