AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-203
Norm( )
The norm() statement performs a normalization operation on a specified file
waveform data. Normalization scales the waveform values to a ±1.0 range,
centered on 0. The output file retains all marker values of the input file.
Group
Waveform
Syntax
"output_filename" = norm("filename1")
Arguments
"output_filename" is the complete file name (file name and extension) to
contain the resultant waveform. The argument can include a relative or absolute
path name. Enclose the file name within double quotation marks.
"filename1" is the complete (file name and extension) name of the file on which
you are performing the normalization operation. The file must be on the active
drive. The argument can include a relative or absolute path name. Enclose the file
name within double quotation marks.
Example
"intwave.wfm" = norm("sineswp.wfm")
Pn( )
The pn() statement creates a pseudo–random waveform using a shift register. You
can specify the register size (1 to 32) and XOR feedback tap position. The initial
values of the registers are set to one. If you omit the tap position specifier, a default
maximum data length tap setting is used.
Group
Waveform
Syntax
"output_filename" = pn(reg_size [, tap_position ...])
Arguments
"output_filename" is the complete file name (file name and extension) to
contain the pseudo–random waveform. The argument can include a relative or
absolute path name. Enclose the file name within double quotation marks.
NOTE. Exponentiation executes the same calculation as for the pow() function.
Zero (0) divided by 0 is 1.
