LOAD/SAVE Menu

Selecting the Device

Select Device to select the source from which files are loaded into the AWG2021 internal memory and the destination to which files are saved from internal memory. You may select Disk, NVRam or GPIB.

1.Select Device from the bottom menu.

2.Select Disk, NVRam or GPIB from the side menu. The following items are listed in the side menu:

Disk

A floppy disk. Files are saved to or loaded from a floppy

 

disk inserted into the floppy disk drive on the right side of

 

the instrument.

NVRam

The instrument's internal non-volatile RAM.

GPIB

The GPIB interface. Used to transfer waveform data directly

 

from another instrument to this instrument through a GPIB

 

cable.

To transfer waveform data through the GPIB interface, the remote port must be set to GPIB and the GPIB operating mode must be set to Waveform Transfer. If this is not done, the following message will appear when you select the GPIB item:

The ￿PIB configuration is not •Waveform Transfer" and the Remote Port is not •￿PIB".

Are you sure of changing the parameters to match the transfer operation ?

Selecting O.K. in the sub-menu at this point will cause these items to be set to the above items automatically.

Table 3-19 shows a list of instruments for which direct transfer of waveform data to this instrument is supported.
