Waveform File Descriptions
This subsection describes the 22 representative waveform files. Some of the
waveform files were obtained by creating an equation file in the equation editor
and then compiling it to create a waveform file. Others were created in the
waveform editor or disk application. To output a waveform file, select the file in
the SETUP menu.
Table D-2: Gaussian pulse
File name GAUSS_P.WFM Made with equation editor
Equation size = 640
clock = 1e9
'pulse width k0 = 30e-9
'peak location k1 = 320e-9
gauss_p.wfm" = exp(-log(2) * ((2* (time - k1) / k0) ^ 2))
Descriptions The waveform that is generated when the pulse width is tW50 and the
peak location is 0 can be expressed as:
