Operating Basics

buffer are completely independent. So, you can edit a waveform, pattern, sequence or equation/text while outputting an another waveform or sequence.

However, when you push SETUP (front panel)￿Waveform/Sequence (bottom)￿Edit (side) to copy the waveform in the waveform memory to the edit buffer, you must save the currently edited waveform, pattern, sequence or equation/text into a file.

You can enter the QUICK EDIT mode only from the waveform editor. When you enter the QUICK EDIT mode, the instrument copies the data from the edit buffer to the undo buffer. All the changes you make immediately reflect the data in the edit buffer and the data in the waveform memory if that data is being loaded to output.

Before loading, you can view a waveform or pattern. Refer to Quick View for more detail.

Viewing a Waveform To view the loaded waveform file, push the View side menu button. The instrument opens a window on the screen that displays the waveform, as shown in Figure 2±25. Push the OK side menu button or front panel ENTER button to close the view window.
