I'm curious how a Custom waveform which, in this case I generate in Excel and copy-paste into the Sample area of the Custom-Edit window is then handled when I use it to generate a waveform, such as with the below two-tone table with 3 and 7 cycles over the 4096 table entries.
If I set the Wavegen to 1MHz, it would appear that the rate the 4096 sample table is repeating is 1MHz, which would produce a 3MHz and 7MHz tone as seen in the 3rd image. But what I don't understand is how the sample-rate could be 4.096GHz? I thought the Wavegen DAC is limited to 125MSPS?

What am I missing here?
