AWG not updating

Post by jswanson »

2205MSO with 6.9.14.16


I am using the AWG feature and find the waveform doesn't update is a change is only made on the 2nd half of the cycle.

Settings 50Hz 2V no offset Squarewave. AWG = 1024 samples and 1 cycle

If I make a change the the first half of the waveform and press apply I can see the waveform update immediately. However if I make a change only to the second half of the waveform the waveform doesn't update when I press apply.


Also: It would be great to be able to trigger from the AWG directly. I am trying to recreate spikes in data using the AWG and it is difficult to trigger from the resulting waveform.

A very unusual bug which also affects 2206/7/8 devices.

I have reported it to the development team for investigation.

Thanks Martyn,

Any possibility of triggering from the AWG or is this not possible due to hardware limitations?

Jeremy.

Hi Martyn,

I'm creating a sinewave input with noise spikes on it. I would like to trigger on the same point on the AWG output, but this is difficult because of the spikes. I was wondering if it is possible to trigger the scope from the start (or any point) of the AWG?

Jeremy.

Can you post a psdata file showing the waveform, and AWG signal.

Hi Martyn,

I keep changing the waveform. It's a sinewave with a spike somewhere along it's length. I was wondering if it would be possible to trigger on a certain part of the AWG output. For example: if the AWG is 1024 long, trigger at an arbitrary sample of, say, 300.
