2405A AWG questions

Post by jazzalex »

Hello all,

I just got a pico 2405A and have questions regarding the AWG:

1.) I would like to export the data of the inbuilt Gaussian function at various settings to a CVS file. Is this possible at all ?

2.) Is it possible to somehow externally trigger a selected waveform or can it only periodically repeat the generation ?

3.) I so far have not understood the logic of the CVS data import. Do the values represent the voltage to be generated ? Is any additional header data required besides the plain values ?

Thanks a lot in advance,
best

Alex

P.S.: Regarding question 2.) I realized that it can be triggered by mouse click which leads to two subsequent questions:

2.1) Is there an alternative way with the 2405A to trigger e.g. via software etc. ?

2.2) I realized that after the mouse click the signal is not generated immediately and it takes several hundred of milliseconds to being displayed in the scope. Is there a way to realize instantaneous signal generation ?
