Wavegen | improvements

Can you extend number of samples in Wavegen import. Now there are maximum of 32768 samples, but for slower signals it should be doable to have much more (maybe 10M samples as in scope record mode).

Also can you add an option to import points as pair time and voltage with at least linear approximation between samples. So one can import only few points and do not need to calculate all points.

Last one option to add - for slower signals will be good to have indicator comparable to Scope modes Shift and Screen.

Hi @kojak

You can use the Wavegen Play feature which is similar to Scope Record. Look for "play" in the application help.

The interpolation in some situations is useful but in others might be troublesome, like when generating discrete sharp steps.
You might try using the custom math feature to generate arbitrary waveform.

Hi @attila

Yes, play looks useful but imported signal look as it is randomly generated after importing, so imported signal cannot be visibly determined. And progress indicator is only as status text above signal. But generated signal should be highlighted similar to Scope modes Shift and Screen.

Please look at JLR EMC spec. p62 Wf B, C, D for example signal. The best option for now is import signal from csv/txt for play mode. But then I loose an option to view the signal because after import the signal is random. Math is also not an option because of limited number of samples (in some parts this give bad resolution).

The best option for this is to have option to define signal as segment by segment as in autowave.control from emtest. It is possibleto generate simple functions in FPGA in AD2 itself so signal can be generated at maximum resolution and speed? It will be huge improvement so AD2 can be used for generation more complex signals in easy way so it can be used for example for automotive testing.
