Frequency Sweep + Pulses with fixed Pulsewidth = 1 signal to 5411 card

[MI guy]

Hi all,

I need to send to the 5411 a signal which is a combination of a frequency sweep interleave with
a series of fixed pulsewidth pulses. So far I couldn't
find any example of this signal and don't know if I
could merge the 2 signals into a single one and write
it to the 5411 buffers. If there's any advice, suggestion, example, please let me know.
Millions of thanks

You can build up any combination of signals and send them to the 5411 to output. The best way to build up wavforms is to use the Analog Waveform Editor. You can also do this programatically, but it requires a little more work. What you will essentially have to do is create an arbitrary waveform that sweeps the desired frequency (such as a chirp) and then add your fixed pulse with as the next sequence.

I hope this helps-

Hi Dustin,

Sounds like a winner. Thank you. I'll try this out.
