Load A File...

Load B File...

Select two files, waveform A and wa veform B, to mix. When the instrument enter s
Waveform Mixing mode, the waveform loaded in AWG mode is selected as
Waveform A. Loading of the file in AWG mode sets data to the waveform memory
for a waveform output. On the other hand, loa ding of the file in Waveform Mixing
mode sets data to the work area for wavefor m mixing.
Please care about the following point, in case you select a waveform.
A waveform file (*.wfm), a pattern file (*.pat), o r a sequence file (*.seq) can
be specified to be Waveform A and B. However, the sequence file containing
a sub sequence cannot be specified.
A pattern file and a pattern file included in the sequence file are treated as a
waveform file. A eight bit pattern o f each poi nt is t reated a s the rea l number of
the value of the range of -1 to +1.
Although the combination of a waveform file and a pattern file is free, only
combination with a sequence file is possible for a sequence file. If the illegal
file type is specified, the file of another side will become blank.
Although the numbers of points of Waveform A and Waveform B may differ,
the number of lines of a sequence file must be the same.
The sequence control parameters (Repeat Count, Wait Trigger, Go to <N>,
Logic Jump) of a sequence file of Waveform A become effective.
Coincidence of the number of lines and the check of the number res trictions of
points are performed at the time of loading of a file. It cannot load, when not
meet conditions.
The waveform file contains the clock rate value. When a file is loaded to
Waveform A and B, the clock rate value of Waveform A is set as a clock rate
value of AWG .
