Multiply Operator

The Multiply math operator multiplies source 1 by source 2, point by point, and places the result in the selected function waveform. The output units are V² (or W²) and not V (or W).

Display Setup

Each operator's setup includes a Setup section that has the selections that are shown in the following generic setup dialog box. Use these settings to control the display of the operator's output waveform, including turning the display on or off. Use the Name field to display an identifying name to the waveform which can be helpful for screen captures or when multiple waveforms are displayed. The settings also include the output waveform's color, scaling, and signal type. The scaling Automatic selection allows the output waveform to track changes to the scaling of the input waveform. This is the setting that you would normally want to use.

The signal Pattern can be used for BER (Bit Error Ratio), SNDR (Signal to Noise and Distortion Ratio), and other measurements. You can specify the math function has the same pattern as the input waveform (Track Input), Auto Detect the pattern, choose a Known Pattern from a list, or specify your own pattern using a Pattern File.
