Waveforms Example

In this example we generate different signals with a base frequency of 10 kHz on DAC channel 1 and receive the same signals on the ADC channel 1. To run this example connect the RedPitaya in the following way.

It is also possible to update the signal type during the acquisition without going back to the CONFIGURATION mode.
