IviScope Simulator Setup Dialog Box

Two sets of properties exist for use with the IviScope simulation driver. You use the dialog box shown below to configure the measurement simulation for the IviScope simulation driver. Scroll down to see a description of each control.

Always prompt for output data simulation

Leaving this control selected causes the panel to appear at every signal acquisition event in your program. All simulated acquisitions in the program use the same waveform configuration information. Unselecting this control causes the waveform simulation panel to never appear again during the course of your program.

Channel

This control specifies the channel for which you want to configure a simulation waveform.

Waveform

This control selects the waveform to use for the simulated signal.

Frequency

This control selects the frequency of the waveform to simulate at the selected channel. This value does not affect simulation behavior when the waveform is set to DC. Valid Range: 100.0 to 15.0E6 Hz

Amplitude

This control selects the peak-to-peak amplitude of the waveform to simulate at the selected channel. This value does not affect simulation behavior when the waveform is set to DC.Valid Range: 50.0E-3 to 10.0 Vpp

DC Offset

This control selects the DC offset of the waveform to simulate at the selected channel. Valid Range: -5.0 to 5.0 V

Phase Shift

This control selects the starting phase of the waveform to simulate at the selected channel. This value does not affect simulation behavior when the waveform is set to DC.Valid Range: 0.0 to 360.0 degrees

SNR

This control selects the signal-to-noise ratio of the simulated signal. The SNR determines the amount of noise to introduce into the waveform generation. This option allows you to simulate less than perfect waveforms. Valid Range: 0.001 to +inf
