The waveform or pattern file contains only the waveform and clock information.
When you load a waveform or pattern file, the output signal will use the current
instrument setup parameters.
To save you from doing a manual setup procedure each time you load a
waveform, the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator lets you save setup
parameters into a setup file. You can then restore the saved settings for use with
waveforms.
The setup parameters when saving is included in a setup file. When a setup file is
restored, a setting in both AWG mode and FG mode will replace the contents of
a setup file.
Do the following steps to save the current setup parameters:
1. Push SETUP (front)!Save/Restore (bottom)!Save Setup (side).
The Select Setup Filename dialog box appears.
2. Enter a setup file name.
The setup file name must have the extension .set.
3. Push the OK side button.
The setup information is saved to the designated file.
Do the following steps to restore setup parameters from a file:
1. Select SETUP (front)!Save/Restore (bottom)!Restore Setup (side).
The message box displaying Restoring setup destroys current settings.
appears. The instrument then opens the Input Filename dialog box.
2. Enter or select the setup file name to load.
3. Push the OK side button to load the file and restore the setup parameters, or
push the Cancel side button to exit the restore process without loading the
setup file.
