| Test .csv file | 3. Load the .csv file from the downloaded .zip file |  | The signal generated should be a stair step signal. |
| Test .mat file | 4. Load the .csv file from the downloaded .zip file. Set the frequency to 20kHz, and the time base of Oscilloscope to 10ms. |  | The signal generated should be a sine wave signal. |
| Math | 1. Open Signal Generator Instrument and click the Math tab |  | Refer to the Step Resource image for reference. |
| 2. Connect AWG ch1 to scope ch1+ and scope ch1- to gnd | | ||
| Generate Sine waves | 3. In the Signal Generator Math Function tab, set frequency to 100Hz, and type in the function box 5*sin(t) and click apply. In the Oscilloscope instrument set Volts/div: 1V/div, Trigger: Auto, Time base: 2ms |  | The generated sine wave signal should have the following parameters, peak to peak: 9.6Vpp to 10.4Vpp, frequency: 100Hz, and period: 10ms. Refer to the Step resource image for reference |
| 4. In the Signal Generator Math Function tab, set frequency to 1kHz, and type in the function box 4*sin(10*t) and click apply. In the Oscilloscope instrument set Volts/div: 1V/div, Trigger: Auto, Time base: 20us |  | The generated sine wave signal should have the following parameters, peak to peak: 7.6Vpp to 8.4Vpp, frequency: 10kHz, and period: 100us. Refer to the Step resource image for reference | |
| 5. In the Signal Generator Math Function tab, set frequency to 100kHz, and type in the function box 3*sin(50*t) and click apply. In the Oscilloscope instrument set Volts/div: 1V/div, Trigger: Auto, Time base: 100ns |  | The generated sine wave signal should have the following parameters, peak to peak: 5.6Vpp to 6.4Vpp, frequency: 5MHz, and period: 200ns. Refer to the Step resource image for reference | |
| Generate Square waves | 6. In the Signal Generator Math Function tab, set frequency to 500kHz, and type in the function box 4*sin(t) + 4*sin(3*t)/3 + 4*sin(5*t)/5 + 4*sin(7*t)/7 + 4*sin(9*t)/9 + 4*sin(11*t)/11 (you can copy and paste the text to Scopy) and click apply. In the Oscilloscope instrument set Volts/div: 1V/div, Trigger: Auto, Time base: 500ns |  | The generated square wave signal should have the following parameters, peak to peak: 7Vpp to 7.4Vpp, frequency: 500kHz, and period: 2us. Refer to the Step resource image for reference |
| Waveform Phase – Seconds | 1. Open Waveform tab. Set frequency to 500Hz. Set Phase to 90 degrees. Then change phase unit to seconds. |  | The value of Phase should automatically change to 500us that is 90 degrees in seconds for a frequency of 500Hz. |
| 2. Increase and decrease the value of phase. | The display should follow accordingly. | ||
| 3. Increase phase value to 1.5 ms. Then change again the unit to degrees. |  | The value should now be 270 degrees. | |
| 4. Change frequency to 1 MHz. Then set phase to 1us. This corresponds to a full period of a 1MHz frequency. |  | The interface should look like in steps resources picture. | |
| 5. Change phase unit to degrees. |  | The value should be 360 degrees. |
