Loading a Waveform Fileto Edit
The default Edit screen displays a list o f files in the current drive. To load a file and
open an editor window, use the general purpose knob or the front–panel arrow
buttons to highlight a file name. Then push the ENTER front–panel button. The
instrument loads the selected file and opens the edito r appropriate fo r that fil e type.
You can also edit an existing file by selecting the file in the list, pushing the Edit
bottom button, then pushing the Edit side button. This process takes two more
steps than that described previously. If the file you want to edit is located in a
different directory of the hard disk drive, on a floppy disk, or on a network drive,
use the bottom menu Drive, Directory, and File butt ons to change the curre nt driv e
and load a file from another location. Refer to File Management on page 2-17 for
information on locating and saving files.
