DAPL Signal Generation Commands

DAPL signal generation commands compute repeating or non-repeating signal sequences. The primary application is generating test signal waveforms, but generated signals are sometimes used internally, for example, to modulate a data stream.

COSINEWAVE

Compute values for a repeating or modulated cosine wave.

SINEWAVE

Compute values for a repeating or modulated sine wave.

SQUAREWAVE

Compute values for a repeating or modulated square wave.

TRIANGLE

Compute values for a repeating or modulated triangle wave.

SAWTOOTH

Compute values for a repeating or modulated sawtooth wave.

RANDOM

Generate an uncorrelated (white) uniform noise sequence.

The COPYVEC command (for data copying) is also useful for generating arbitrary wave shapes.
