Export Data to Tektronix Pattern Generators and Data Generators
WaveFormer Pro can export waveform data into a format that can be read by the Tektronix pattern generator
TLA7PG2, the Tektronix DTG5000 series Timing Generators, and the Tektronix DGLink software. DGLink takes
the WaveFormer file and converts it into a binary file that can drive the DG2020A, DG2030, and DG2040
data generators.
WaveFormer Instructions
- Either load or create a timing diagram into WaveFormer.
- Make sure the timing diagram contains one clock signal, which will be used as the sampling
clock. At each rising edge of the clock, the states of each signal will be written out to the pattern
generator file. The first clock in the timing diagram will be assumed to be the sampling clock, all
other clocks will be ignored.
