Application Note Replicating Real World Signals with an Arbitrary/Function Generator Introduction When designing and testing these devices, a mechanism Nearly all consumer products today have circuits or is required to replicate the input signals. In many cases devices that require the input of specific electronic it may also be useful to add noise or other anomalies signals in order for the product to perform correctly. to the signals to test the devices under real world and This input could be as simple as the signal from an stress conditions. A common approach is to create automotive knock sensor, or as complex as a serial these signals using software applications or just data communication bus signal such as Controller capture a live signal using an oscilloscope. This created Area Network (CAN) or Inter IC Bus (I2C) signal. or captured waveform is then loaded in an Arbitrary/Function Replicating Real World Signals with an Arbitrary/Function Generator Application Note Figure 1.

The AFG can replicate this signal repeatedly With its ability to produce almost any waveform imagi- to test the final circuit design in a controlled environ- nable, the AFG embraces applications ranging from ment such as a temperature chamber or EMC testing automotive sensor simulation to wireless network rooms. Since replicated signals can be easily modified stress testing. they allow control over the testing to verify full reliability The Function Generator part of the AFG produces stable
