Changing frequency during waveforms
Changing frequency during waveforms
My Picoscope is of the 4000a series and I'm using its API in order to control it. Specifically, I'm using the "ps4000aSetSigGenArbitrary()" function in order to create arbitrary waveforms.
The way I understand this function, I can create whichever waveform I want and then repeatedly generate it with different frequencies (according to the DeltaPhase parameter).
My question is this:
Is it possible for me to generate a waveform so that the frequency itself changes during the waveform, e.g., a waveform that starts as a 1V square wave in 3Hz, and then changes after 5 repetitions to a 2V square wave in 6Hz? Or do I have to call the "ps4000aSetSigGenArbitrary()" function twice with two different waveforms?
Thanks.
