execution point rate is the execution time between
each point in the waveform. The total time taken to
run one period of the waveform is
given by:
number of points X rate
Because the output frequency is a function of the rate
and the number of points being executed, the formula
is given as:
𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 =
1
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑥 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒
For example, to set the output frequency to 1000Hz,
given the number of data points used for the
waveform output is 1000, calculate:
𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 =
1
1000 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑥 1000 𝐻𝑧
= 1𝜇𝑠
EXAMPLE: Setting the Output Frequency
To set the output frequency of a 1000 point waveform
in execution memory to 1000Hz, set the rate to 1us:
