Setting up a Cyclic or Random Stimulation Mode

To set up a cyclic (sine, ramp, pulse,step) or random generator stimulation mode, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Stimulus window for a data generator channel (Setting up a Channel in the Data Generator).

2. In the Mode combo box, select a cyclic or random mode.

   Available cyclic modes: sine, ramp, pulse, step, random

3. In the Frequency field, set the frequency in Hz (i.e. 1/s, not rad/s) for the cyclic mode.

4. In the Phase field, set the phase for the cyclic mode.

   The phase determines the offset from the time axis. If, e.g. the phase of a sine signal is 0.5 seconds, the signal will be shifted to the right by half a second.

   Note
   The Frequency and Phase fields are not available for the random mode.

5. Set the offset of the y-axis (Offset field).
6. Adjust the amplitude.
7. Click OK or Apply.
