Using the Pattern Generator

1.1

Plug in your <test & measurement device>, then start WaveForms and make sure your device is connected.

If no device is connected to the host computer when WaveForms launches, the Device Manager will launch automatically.

Make sure that the device is plugged in and turned on, at which point it will appear in the Device Manager's device list (1). Click on the device in the list (“DEMO” devices are also listed, which allow the user to use WaveForms and create projects without a physical device) to select it, then click the Select button (2) to close the Device Manager.

Note: The Device Manager can be reopened by clicking on the “Connected Device” button in the bottom right corner of the screen (3), or by selecting “Device Manager” from the “Settings” menu at the top of the screen.

1.2

Once the Welcome page loads, in the instrument panel at the left side of the window, click on the Patterns button to open the Pattern Generator instrument.

1.3

Once the Pattern Generator instrument opens, the window contains the output plot (1), the configuration panel (2) to left of the plot, and the control toolbar (3) at the top of the window.
