Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player
Generating the Second Waveform
Use the following steps to generate a new multitone waveform with nine tones. During waveform
generation, the
M-TONE and I/Q annunciators activate. The waveform is stored in volatile memory with the
default file name AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM .
1. Press
Mode
>
Multitone
>
Initialize Table
>
Number Of Tones > 9 > Enter > Done
.
2. Generate the waveform: press
Multitone Off On
to On.
3. Because a waveform cannot be renamed as a segment while it is in use, turn off Multitone mode now
that the waveform has been generated: press
Multitone Off On
to Off.
Creating the Second Waveform Segment
In the following steps, the second waveform segment is renamed and remains in volatile memory as a
WFM1 file.
1. Press
Mode
>
Dual ARB
>
Waveform Segments
>
Load Store
to Store.
2. Highlight the default segment AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM .
3. Press

.
4. Enter a file name (for example, MTONE ) using the alpha keys and the numeric keypad.
5. Press
Enter
.
Building and Storing a Waveform Sequence
This example shows how to build and edit a waveform sequence using two waveform segments. If you have
not created the waveform segments, complete the steps in
“Creating Waveform Segments” on page 100 . If
you need to save or load waveform segments, see “Storing and Loading Waveform Segments” on page 103 .
Selecting the Waveform Segments
Use the following steps to define a sequence as one repetition of the two-tone waveform segment followed
by one repetition of the nine-tone multitone waveform segment.
1. Press
Mode
>
Dual ARB
>
Waveform Sequences
>
Build New Waveform Sequence
>
Insert Waveform
.
2. Highlight the first waveform segment (for example, TTONE ) and press
Insert Selected Waveform
.
3. Highlight the second waveform segment (for example, MTONE ) and press
Insert Selected Waveform
.
4. Press
Done Inserting
.
Storing the Waveform Sequence
Store the sequence under a new name to the Catalog of Seq Files in the memory catalog.
1. Press
Name and Store
.
2. Enter a file name (for example, TTONE+MTONE ) using the alpha keys and the numeric keypad.
3. Press
Enter
.
