Signal Generator

What is the Signal Generator?

The Signal Generator is a widget used to generate a customized signal and inject it as a disturbance into the drive.

This tool can be accessed at any time by clicking the image-20260429-124323.png button at the top-right of the screen.

Configuring and working with the Signal Generator

The configuration properties available for this widget are the following:

  • Generator Signal type: Type of signal to be injected.
    The available signal types are:

    • Square

    • Sinusoidal

    • Sawtooth

  • Axis: Axis on which the signal will be applied.

  • Signal: Register where the disturbance will be applied.

  • Frequency: Frequency of the generated signal.

  • Amplitude: Signal amplitude (zero to peak).

  • Offset: Signal offset.

Examples

Example #1

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

Example #2

This example uses the same configuration as in Example #1, but with the following requisites:

  • Show 4 signal cycles

  • Amplitude = 2

  • Offset = 1

To achieve this, the Signal Generator should be configured as follows:
