Example Python script to implement the Arbitrary Waveform Generator

To observe the burst-modulated behavior of the signal on Channel 2, it is recommended to connect a 2 kHz Square wave to Input 1 of your Moku

# Generate two signals for the Arbitrary Waveform Generator to output
t = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)  # Evaluate our waveform at 100 points

# Simple square wave (can also use scipy.signal)
sq_wave = np.array([-1.0 if x < 0.5 else 1.0 for x in t])

# More interesting waveform. Note that we have to normalize this waveform
# to the range [-1, 1]

for h in np.arange(1, 15, 2):
    not_sq += (4 / (np.pi * h)) * np.cos(2 * np.pi * h * t)

not_sq = not_sq / max(abs(not_sq))

# Connect to your Moku by its ip address ArbitraryWaveformGenerator('192.168.###.###')
# or by its serial ArbitraryWaveformGenerator(serial=123)
