EDIT Menu

When you create a new waveform file, the waveform point size is set to the default value of 1000. Technically, you can change this size to any value up to 262,144 points and edit the waveform data as desired. However, due to hardware limitations, the waveform point size on this instrument is limited to 64 ± 262,144 points and to the multiple of 8. In the event that you have edited the data to a waveform point size outside this range, you will be given an opportunity to change to the nearest allowable size (in other words, 64 ± 262,144 points and the multiple of 8) when you save the file.

￿When the waveform point size is less than 64 points:

For example, if the waveform point size is 10 points, the following message will appear:

￿he data size does not fit to this instrument. size = 10 < 64 ￿Minimum￿

Please select action.

The following items will be displayed in the side menu:

Append 0

ª0º (7FF) values will be added after the data until a

 

size of 64 points is reached.

Expand

The data will be interpolated and expanded to make

 

it 64 points.

Expand with Clock

The data will be interpolated and expanded to make

 

it 64 points, and the clock will be speeded up to the

 

same degree.

Cancel

The operation will be canceled and the editor screen

 

will reappear.

Leave as it is

The operation will be canceled and the data will be

 

written as is. The file that has been created cannot be

 

output on this instrument.

￿When the waveform point size is not the multiple of 8:

For example, if the waveform point size is 500 points which is not a multiple of 8, the following message will appear:

￿he data size does not fit to this instrument. It must be multiple of 8.

Please select action.
