Welcome

The Generic Precompensation plug-in application is used to create correction coefficients that can be
applied to waveforms to obtain a flat frequency response and linear phase response.

The plug-in is designed to integrate and operate seamlessly as an enhancement to the SourceXpress
waveform creation software application or to an AWG70000A series arbitrary waveform generator.

NOTE. When u
connected to an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). You cannot use a virtual generator connection to
create coefficient files. Refer to the SourceXpress help for information about establishing a connection
to an AWG.

through the entire system to the point it is connected to an oscilloscope or analyzer. The captured
waveform is then compared to the stimulus signal. From the compared data, the magnitude and the phase
characteristics of the system is obtained and is used to create a correction file.

This illustration shows the Generic Precompensation plug-in viewed from the SourceXpress application.
The plug-in is identical whether it is used from SourceXpress or from an AWG70000A series instrument.
