File Operations
This section describes the basic file operations such as browsing files and saving
or recalling the instrument setups or waveform data. The instrument setups or the
waveform data can be saved in or recalled from files in the internal memory or a
USB memory.
Browsing Waveform Files To browse for a waveform file in the internal memory or in a USB memory, use
the Arb Waveform Menu. You can select either Internal or USB as a memory
type. Figure 2-10 is a screen display example when USB is selected.

You can select a waveform to be output. The specified waveform is output if the
output is enabled.
USB Memory. When you select USB from the Memory bezel menu, a directory of
folder and files on the USB memory are displayed on the screen. You can select a
folder or file using the general purpose knob to scroll up and down the rows of the
list. The directory of contents are listed in alphabetical order on the screen.
The arbitrary/function generator displays the directory with an index number (the
instrument numbers the directory contents from 1 to 500 files). You can also enter
an item index number using the numeric keypad to get close to the item you want.
The currently selected item is highlighted. You can open a directory by selecting
that row and then pushing the Change Directory bezel button. To open a file,
select that row and then push OK.
