Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player
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.
To play the waveform sequence, refer to “Playing a Waveform” on page 102 .
Storing and Loading Waveform Segments
Waveform segments can reside in volatile memory as WFM1 files, or they can be stored to non-volatile
memory as NVWFM files, or both. To play or edit a waveform file, it must reside in volatile memory.
Because files stored in volatile memory do not survive a power cycle, it is a good practice to store important
files to non-volatile memory and load them to volatile memory whenever you want to use them.
Storing Waveform Segments to Non-volatile Memory
1. Press
Mode
>
Dual ARB
>
Waveform Segments
.
2. If necessary, press
Load Store
to Store.
3. Press
Store All To NVWFM Memory
.
Copies of all WFM1 waveform segment files have been stored in non-volatile memory as NVWFM files.
You can also store files individually by highlighting the file and pressing
Store Segment To NVWFM Memory
.
Loading Waveform Segments from Non-volatile Memory
1. Clear out the volatile memory and delete all WFM1 files: Power cycle the instrument.
2. Press

3. If necessary, press
Load Store
to Load.
4. Press
Load All From NVWFM Memory
.
Copies of all NVWFM waveform segment files have been loaded into volatile memory as WFM1 files. You
can also load files individually by highlighting the file and pressing
Load Segment From NVWFM Memory
.
Renaming a Waveform Segment
