An arbitrary function generator produces one or more waveforms for arbitrary applications wherein a general-purpose waveform production capability is customized to meet the demands of specific applications. The arbitrary waveform generator supports arbitrary scaling of waveforms in amplitude and in time. The arbitrary function generator is a standalone system that may be integrated into a MRI control system. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a software system comprising a delivery component, a configuration component, a scaling component, and a triggering component provide the features and functions of the present invention. The various software components communicate in accordance with a shared memory database in which data structures comprising waveform descriptions and tuning parameters are made available to the various software components.
