Arbitrary (ARB) Waveform File Headers
Viewing Header Information for a Different Waveform File
While a waveform is playing in the dual ARB player, you can view the header information of a
different waveform file, but you can modify the header information only for the waveform that is
currently playing. When you select another waveform file, the header editing softkeys are grayed-out
(see Figure 3-6). This task guides you through the available viewing choices.
1. View the waveform file list: Press
Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Setup > Header Utilities > View Different Header.
As shown in Figure 3-7, there is an alphabetical list of waveform files in the table.

2. View all waveform segments in non-volatile memory:
a. Press the
Catalog Type softkey. As shown in Figure 3-7, you have a choice of three waveform file
types that can be displayed in the table accessed in step one.
NVWFM displays all waveform segments stored in non-volatile memory
Seq displays all waveform sequence files
WFM1 displays all waveform segments stored in volatile memory
b. Press the
NVWFM softkey. The table displays the waveform files in non-volatile memory.
3. View a waveform file’s header information: Highlight a file and press the
View Header softkey.
The header information for the selected waveform file appears in the PSG display. If there is a
waveform playing, its header information is replaced by this information, but the waveform
settings used by the signal generator do not change. To return to the header information for the
playing waveform, either press
View Different Header, select the current playing waveform file, and
press
View Header, or
press
Return > Header Utilities.
