Application Notes

Reproducing one-shot events with an arbitrary waveform generator technical brief

The detailed simulation of unrepeatable physical events is a frequent need. The combination of an oscilloscope and an arbitrary waveform generator is often a winning combination. This brief summary illustrates how and why.

Function Generators vs. Waveform Generators? The Automotive Ethernet case

Signal generators are not born equal. This brief summary illustrates the two main architectures used in modern signal generators with an example of the characterization of Automotive Ethernet receivers.

Multiple Carrier Generation using T3AWG3K-series ARB and the Waveform Editor SW Utility

The T3AWG3k-series High-Definition (HD) Arbitrary Waveform Generator with the Waveform Editor SW Utility combined with the High-Definition (HD) Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscopes provides a far superior insightful High Definition stimulus-response measurements set-up. The ability to generate a multiple carrier testing scenario with 16-bits vertical resolution (HD), Output Voltage swing up to ±12 Vpp (into 50Ω) and waveform memory up to 1 GPts. points can be an invaluable tool in troubleshooting complex signal transmission systems.

Transmit a UART Frame with the WaveStation Waveform Generator

Troubleshooting low-speed serial data buses can be quite challenging. At times, an engineer may want to capture a particular frame, and re-transmit it. This is made possible with Teledyne LeCroy's WaveStation waveform generator.

Advantages of Two Channels in Waveform Generators

There are too many advantages to a two-channel waveform generator to ignore their consideration. Here is why two channels are better than one.

FM Modulation with the WaveStation 3000 Waveform Generator

The WaveStation 3000 waveform generator is a versatile tool for design and debugging. Here is how to use it to create FM-modulated waveforms.

WaveAce Integration with WaveStation

Debugging sometimes requires transfer of signals from oscilloscope to waveform generator. This document describes how to transfer signals from the WaveAce oscilloscope to the WaveStation waveform generator and vice versa.

Testing Audio Devices

Some engineers need to qualify audio devices for the Windows logo while others are designing theatre-quality sound devices for stage shows or for less expensive (but still good quality) automotive audio systems.

Creating ArbStudio Waveforms Using Formulas

LeCroy’s ArbStudio has great tools for creating simple waveforms.

Using Export & Import to Move Waveforms

LeCroy ArbStudio workspaces are strongly linked to the ArbStudio model used to create them. Workspaces created with a model 1104 cannot be directly used with a model 1102. The following procedure outlines how to use the export and import functions of the ArbStudio software to transfer waveforms between the two models.
