When the Hardware node is selected in the left pane, common hardware configuration parameters appear here.
Name |
The product name/model of the instrument. The name appears as the instrument node in the left pane of the Hardware screen.
|
||||||||||||
Number of Hardware Channels |
Enter the number of channels for a specific instrument model. For multiple channels, the first instrument listed will become the primary. The others will be secondary.
|
||||||||||||
Connection State |
Reports whether or not you have remote connection to the instrument.
|
||||||||||||
Selected |
Reports whether or not you have selected a particular instrument for remote control.
|
||||||||||||
Address |
Enter the instrument’s IP address or hostname. This parameter is coupled with Address under instrument configuration. See that description for SCPI command. |
When an instrument model is selected in the left pane, configuration parameters pertaining to that instrument appear here.
Output Enable |
Click the checkbox to enable (checkmarked) or disable the generated signal at the output.
|
||||||||||||||
DAC Sample Frequency |
Enter a value to set the DAC sample frequency. The DAC sample frequency references to a clock. Use abbreviations for faster entry (example: 1g = 1.000000000000 GHz).
|
||||||||||||||
Amplitude |
Enter a value to set the signal generator’s output amplitude in dBm.
|
||||||||||||||
FIRScale |
Enter the FIR filter scaling factor for a channel.
|
||||||||||||||
Carrier Frequency |
Enter a value (in Hz) to set the carrier frequency. Use abbreviations for faster entry (example: 1g = 1.000000000000 GHz).
|
Sample Rate Divider |
The speed of operation of the extended memory is adjustable using the parameter ‘Sample Rate Divider (extended memory)’. Possible values are 1, 2, and 4. The sample rate divider is identical for all channels that are sourced from extended memory. In case the sample rate divider is adjusted to two or four, the FIR filters are used as interpolation filters by factors of two or four. The interpolation is necessary as the DAC always operates in the range 53.76 GSa/s … 65 GSa/s.

OSR for AWG |
Enter a value to set the oversampling ratio (OSR) for the M8195A arbitrary waveform generator
