Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player
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.
