Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player
Playing a Waveform
This procedure applies to playing either a waveform segment or a waveform sequence.

This example plays the waveform sequence created in the previous procedure.
1. Select a waveform sequence:
a. Press Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform .
b. Highlight a waveform sequence (for this example, TTONE+MTONE) from the Sequence column of
the Select Waveform catalog, and press
Select Waveform .
The display shows the currently selected waveform

(for example, Selected Waveform: SEQ:TTONE+MTONE).
2. Generate the waveform:

Press ARB Off On to On.
This plays the selected waveform sequence.

During the waveform sequence generation, the ARB and I/Q annunciators activate.
Editing a Waveform Sequence
This example shows how to edit waveform segments within a waveform sequence, and then save the
edited sequence under a new name. Within the editing display, you can change the number of times
each segment plays (the repetitions), delete segments, add segments, toggle markers (described on
page 106 ), and save changes.
NOTE If you do not store changes to the waveform sequence prior to exiting the waveform
sequence editing display, the changes are removed.
1. Press Waveform Sequences > Edit Selected Waveform Sequence , and highlight the first entry.
2. Press Edit Repetitions > 100 > Enter . The second segment is automatically selected.
3. Press Edit Repetitions > 200 > Enter .
4. Save the edited file as a new waveform sequence:
a. Press Name And Store .
b. Press Editing Keys > Clear Text , then enter a new file name (for example, TTONE100+MTONE200).
c. Press Enter .
You have now changed the number of repetitions for each waveform segment entry from 1 to 100 and
200, respectively. The sequence has been stored under a new name to the Catalog of Seq Files in
the signal generator’s memory catalog.
