At the end of this course, the user should be able to select an appropriate NI waveform generator for their application. They should then be able to set up their waveform generator device and perform both interactive and programmatic outputs to their DUT. In addition, they will be able to synchronize outputs across multiple PXI instruments and optimize signals.
