create arbitrary waveform

How to create arbitrary waveform for 33250a function generator? i am using labview/cvi and driver is Agilent Technologies / Hewlett-Packard hp33120a Signal Generator.

How to change the range check  parameters for this insrument? as by defualt it doesnoty allow me to change the frequency beyond 10Mhz?

thanks,

vikrant

Hi,

    Check out the following screenshot. Its running on 50Mhz frequency. The AWG is capable of generating waveforms till 80Mhz according to datasheet. Check out teh examples and configuration VI's of Instrument drivers on Fuctions pallete.

Thanks for your reply.

I am using the LABVIEW/CVI.

i am calling this function below to set the frequency:

hp33120a_SetAttributeViReal64 (i33xxx_Handler, "1",HP33120A_ATTR_FUNC_FREQUENCY,fFrequency)

But it does not allow me to go beyond 10MHz.

thanks & regards,

vikrant

Hi,

    I am not that well versed with CVI, but will try and get back to you if I can solve it.

    Try and post it in Labview CVI thread. Hope that will help.

Shreyas,

You have the blue icon of an NI employee but I don't think you are.

To both of you,

Some one from NI (or one with even passing familiarity with the products) would know that it is LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI. Labview CVI is just plain wrong on so many levels.

My apologies.
