Ramp / Staircase Wave Dialog

Controls: Gen Dlg >> Stream >> Wave >> Ramp
Macro : Wave=Ramp

The button brings up a separate dialog. As with the triangle, this is a bipolar wave, but it can be converted to all positive or negative by setting Level to 50% and DC Offset to +50% or -50%, respectively.

• Rise
• Stairs
• Modulation Type:
  • Phase
  • Slope

Macro Notes:

Wave=Ramp sets the waveform of the current channel and stream to Ramp. Use prefixes like L.1.Wave=Ramp to specify channel and stream, here Left Stream 1. Note that this command format sets Wave but does not open the Ramp dialog. This is the usual approach for modifying Generator setups.

To set Wave to Ramp and also open the Ramp dialog (if the Wave dialog is already open), use a D. prefix as in D.L.1.Wave=Ramp.
