Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player

Creating Waveform Segments

There are two ways to provide waveform segments for use by the waveform sequencer. You can either download a waveform via remote interface or generate a waveform using one of the ARB modulation formats. For information on downloading waveforms via remote interface, see the Programming Guide.

The following procedure describes how to create waveform segments using internally generated two tone and multitone waveforms. In this example, you generate two waveform segments, then name and store them in ARB memory. After the two waveform segments are named and stored in ARB memory, they are used to build a waveform sequence in the procedure, “Building and Storing a Waveform Sequence” on page 101.

Generating the First Waveform

1.Press Preset.

2.Press Mode > Two Tone.

3.Press Alignment Left Cent Right to Right.

4.Press Two Tone Off On to On.

5.Press Two Tone Off On to Off.

This generates a two tone waveform with the tone on the right placed at the carrier frequency. During waveform generation, the T-TONEand I/Q annunciators activate. The waveform is stored in volatile memory with the default file name AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM, as you will see in the next section. The Two Tone mode was turned off after generation because a waveform cannot be renamed as a segment while it is in use.

NOTE

Because there can be only one AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM waveform in memory at any given

 

time, you must rename this file to clear the way for a second waveform.

 

 

Creating the First Waveform Segment

1.Press Mode > Dual ARB.

2.Press Waveform Segments.

3.Press Load Store to Store.

4.Highlight the default segment AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM.

5.Press More (1 of 2) > Rename Segment > Editing Keys > Clear Text.

6.Enter a file name (for example, TTONE) using the alpha keys and the numeric keypad, and press Enter. The waveform segment is renamed and remains in volatile memory as a WFM1 file.
