Signal Generator

 

Description

This signal generator will output a triangle wave or a square wave.  The duty cycle can be altered to adjust the shape of the waveform.

 

If Interpolation Compatibility is enabled while the device is generating a square waveform, then interpolated information is generated by the device and sent to the output each time the output transitions.  The interpolated time in these instances represents the exact transition time. When interpolation is utilized, this device is very accurate even at larger time steps.
