Overview

MODE Menu

Use the MODE menu to set the operation mode. There are two

 

main types of operation modes: the trigger modes (Cont,

 

Triggered, Gated and Burst) and the modes in which

 

waveforms are output in sequence for each trigger (Waveform

 

Advance and Autostep). This menu also has an item for

 

setting the timing with which synchronization signals are

 

generated. See Section 3 for more information.

 

 

EDIT Menu

The EDIT menu incorporates four types of editors: the

 

waveform editor, the equation editor, the sequence editor and

 

the autostep editor. Editing can be performed for each file type.

 

Instruments with Option 09 installed have an FFT editor to

 

permit editing in the freguency domain and a convolution editor

 

to operate the waveforms convolution in high speed.

 

The EDIT menu displays a list of files stored in internal

 

memory. New files can be created or existing files can be

 

selected from this list and edited. See Section 3 for further

 

information.

 

 

LOAD/SAVE Menu

Press the LOAD/SAVE bottom button to select the appropriate

 

menu.

 

See Section 3 for further information.

 

LOAD Menu. Used when loading files from a floppy disk or

 

non;volatile internal RAM (NVRam) into the internal memory of

 

the AWG2021, or from another instrument through the GPIB

 

interface.

 

SAVE Menu. Used when saving files from the internal memory

 

of the AWG2021 to a floppy disk or to the instrument's

 

NVRam.

 

 

UTILITY Menu

Use the UTILITY menu to work on the files saved to a floppy

 

disk or the instrument's NVRam, to set the parameters for the

 

GPIB or RS;232;C interface, to execute diagnosis or calibration

 

of the instrument, or to set other instrument parameters. See

 

Section 3 for further information.

 

 

(10) and Buttons

Use the arrow buttons to shift to the right/left of the input digit

 

or position when a numeric value or character is input using the

 

general purpose knob. The digit input numeric value is

 

indicated at the underscore. Hold down these arrow buttons to

 

shift in succession.

 

 

(11) CURSOR Button and

Use the CURSOR button to select a field or switch the active

Indicator

cursor. The function of CURSOR button is different depending

 

on each menu.

 

When the LED indicator is illuminated, cursor function is

 

activated. When special CURSOR button movement is

 

required, a description of the CURSOR button is displayed on

 

the screen.
