Creating Arbitrary Points Using IntuiLink

应用文章

Introduction

 

Over the years, Keysight Technologies, Inc. has developed many effective software solutions that enhance usability when combined with Keysight’s world-renowned hardware. This application note focuses on the IntuiLink Waveform Editor and the Keysight Measurement Manager (AMM). AMM is bundled for free when you purchase a USB DAQ.

 

Working with IntuiLink Waveform Editor

 

IntuiLink works with many products in Keysight’s lineup. It is compatible with the oscilloscopes, pulse-function arbitrary noise generators, digital multimeters, frequency counters, network and spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and multi-function switches, among other devices. If you already understand the fundamentals of drawing using Microsoft Paint in the Windows environment, you will see that the IntuiLink’s user interface provides the same concept along with additional content and tools. First, you have to identify all the points that you intend to draw and what equipment this waveform will be used in after the drawing process. By clicking the Properties command from File > Properties …, you pop-up the Properties dialog box. See Figure 1. It is a good practice to set the number of points and bits to make the waveform compatible with the equipment that will be using these points.
