Signal Generator

This widget is used to generate a customized signal and inject it as a disturbance into our drive.

The configuration properties available for this widget are the following ones:

• Generator Signal type: Type of the signal that we'll inject.
  The signal types available are:
  • Square
  • Sinusoidal
  • Sawtooth
• Axis: Axis where we will select the signal
• Signal: Register where we'll apply the disturbance.
• Frequency: Frequency of the signal generated.
• Amplitude: Signal amplitude (zero to peak)
• Offset: Signal offset

In Figure 1 we can see the default configuration of Signal Generator when using it with Current Tune workspace and in Figure 2 the result of injecting this disturbance into the drive.

Example:

I want to configure the Signal Generator like in Figure 1 but with the following requisites:

• Show 4 signal cycles.
• Amplitude = 2.
• Offset = 1.

To achieve that we should configure the Signal Generator like:
