F-2 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
In actual practice, when function f(x)is expressed by n values, the differential value
f’(x
i
) at point x
i
is given by the following equation:
Here, “n” is the number of waveform points and “i” is an integer in the range, i=1,
2, ..., n.
Figure F-1: Equation differentiation
The values at the first and last points are obtained from the following equations
rather than from the center deviation:
