Playing a Waveform

You can play a waveform sequence or a waveform segment using this procedure. Both waveform types
follow the same process.

This example plays a waveform sequence. If you have not created waveform segments and used them to
build and store a waveform sequence, complete the steps in the previous procedures,

“Creating Waveform

Segments” on page 100

,

“Building and Storing a Waveform Sequence” on page 101

.

Selecting a Waveform Sequence

1. Press

Select Waveform

.

2. Highlight a waveform (for 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

).

Generating the Waveform

Press

ARB Off On

until On is highlighted.

This plays the waveform sequence created in the previous sections. During the waveform sequence
generation, the

ARB

and

I/Q

annunciators activate.

Editing a Waveform Sequence

This procedure demonstrates 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 on or off (for more on
markers, see

“To Toggle Markers As You Create a Waveform Sequence” on page 107

), 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

.
