If I remember correctly, this is the series 200 modular computer, in
which case there are a couple of options-

Floating Point Accelerator (98635) will definitely help if you are doing
floating point calculations in your waveform generation.

Are you programming in BASIC? If so, try the Basic COMPILER, which should
speed things up nicely. Be sure to compile the code to use the 98635.

Are you programming in PASCAL? If so be sure to compile with floating
point (98635) ONLY option set. This is fastest code.

I assume you are not reading/writing from disk or doing anything else dumb
while trying to generate fast data!
