The difference between arbitrary function generators and arbitrary waveform generators may 11 2018 by david herres leave a comment signal generators are subdivided into categories that include arbitrary function generators afgs and arbitrary waveform generators awgs.
It may be to test an amplifier check out a circuit a component or an actuator.
Powerful waveform generators are available commercially but it is relative.
It runs with a sampling rate of 65536 hz and can create any whole number frequency from 1 hz to 30ish khz in sine wave sawtooth triangle and different ratios of square wave.
As well as the gui program the arduino waveform generator can also be controlled by arduino s serial monitor set to 115200 baud.
Learn how to make your own arbitrary waveform generator using an atmega328p a dds function generator ic an op amp a few passives and some hard work.
These values when loaded to the arduino uno are converted to hex values between 0x00 and 0x1f and output as arbitrary waveforms.
The data values should be in decimal whole numbers in the range 0 to 63.
