Generator outputting DC waveform option

Instruments PC Oscilloscopes and Recorders

For a project of mine I need to simulate a simplification of the carbattery voltage when charged and engine is off.
I tried to do this with a “wave sequence” of a DC.lib & AC.lib:

DC.lib (Function=4, Freq=1, Voltage=4, Time=3, FileName=DC.lib)
0.94
0.94

AC.lib (Function=4, Freq=5000Hz, Voltage=4.3, Time=3, FileName=AC.lib)
0.96
0.94

In a forum topic I found out:

  • The function generator of the PCSU200 doesn’t output DC voltage.
  • Only the AC component of the library waveform is output.
  • The generator automatically ‘centers’ the AC component of the waveform so that DC component is about zero.
  1. Could this generator DC-output(like a button) be an option to implement within the software so that real life situation waveforms could then be easely generated?
  2. Is this also possible in the VisualBasic.dll SetGen or SetLibWave?

The function generator of the PCSU200 is internally ‘AC coupled’ and so no DC can be output.
This feature is fixed in the hardware and not possible to modify in the generator software.

[quote]2) Is this also possible in the VisualBasic.dll SetGen or SetLibWave?[/quote]I’m sorry, also using this method it is not possible to generate DC output with the PCSU200.
