Using a Predefined Data Pattern

Custom Real Time I/Q Baseband

Working with Data Patterns

Selecting a Predefined PN Sequence Data Pattern

1. Press Preset.

2. Press Mode > Custom > Real Time I/Q Baseband > Data > PN Sequence.

3. Press one of the following: PN9, PN11, PN15, PN20, PN23.

Selecting a Predefined Fixed 4-bit Data Pattern

1. Press Preset.

2. Press Mode > Custom > Real Time I/Q Baseband > Data > FIX4.

3.Press 1010 > Enter > Return.

Selecting a Predefined Data Pattern Containing an Equal Number of 1s & 0s

1. Press Preset.

2. Press Mode > Custom > Real Time I/Q Baseband > Data > Other Patterns.

3.Press one of the following:

4 1’s & 4 0’s, 8 1’s & 8 0’s, 16 1’s & 16 0’s, 32 1’s & 32 0’s, or 64 1’s & 64 0’s.

Using a User-Defined Data Pattern

User Files (user- defined data pattern files) can be created and modified using the signal generator’s Bit File Editor or they can be created on a remote computer and moved to the signal generator for direct use; these remotely created data pattern files can also be modified with the Bit File Editor. For information on creating user- defined data files on a remote computer, see the E8257D/67D PSG Signal Generators Programming Guide.

These procedures demonstrate how to use the Bit File Editor to create, edit, and store user- defined data pattern files for use within the custom real- time I/Q baseband generator modulation. For this example, a user file is defined within a custom digital communication.

Creating a Data Pattern User File with the Bit File Editor

This procedure uses the Bit File Editor to create a Data Pattern User File and stores the resulting file in the Memory Catalog (described on page 55).

1.Press Preset.

2.Press Mode > Custom > Real Time I/Q Baseband > Data > User File > Create File.

This opens the Bit File Editor, which contains three columns, as shown in the following figure.
