buffer, you must save the currently edited waveform, pattern, sequence or
equation/text into a file.
You can enter into the QUICK EDIT mode only from the waveform editor. When
you enter into the quick edit mode, the instrument copies the data in the edit
buffer into the undo buffer. All the changes you make immediately reflect to the
data in the edit buffer, and also to 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 on
page 2–23 for more detail.
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 2–26. Push the OK side menu button or ENTER front-panel button to
close the view window.

Note that the view function always display the waveform in the file that you
specified, but not the waveform in the waveform memory. Even when you
change the waveform with the editor and update the waveform memory, the view
function still displays the waveform before the update unless you do not save the
file.
