There is provided a signal output apparatus for outputting a pattern signal. The signal output apparatus includes a pattern generating section that generates waveform data of the pattern signal to be generated, a timing generating section that generates timing signals in accordance with an expected pattern cycle time of the pattern signal, a timing control section that receives the waveform data output from the pattern generating section, and controls output timings of the timing signals to be output from the timing generating section, in accordance with the waveform data, and a waveform shaping section that generates the pattern signal corresponding to data values of the waveform data output from the pattern generating section, in accordance with the timing signals output from the timing generating section. |
