points with a straight line.
 Sinc: The waveform editor will automatically connect the two points with a
smooth curve. Notice that, the interpolation point voltage may be without the
arbitrary waveform level limit and an unexpected curve will be acquired if the
defined point voltage is the same as High VLimit or Low VLimit. Thus, try
not to define the point voltage as the High VLimit or Low VLimit values.
6. Edit Points
Define a waveform by specifying the time and voltage of each waveform point.
Press this softkey to enter the “Edit Points” interface.
 PointID: Set the ID of the point to be edited. The default is 1. You can use
the numeric keyboard or knob to modify this parameter.
 Time: Set the time of the current point. This setting is limited by the time of
the previous and the next points. Note that the time of point 1 is fixed at 0 s.
 Voltage: Set the voltage of the current point in mV or V. The range of the
voltage value is limited by the “High VLimit” and “Low VLimit” specified in
the initialization. Note that the waveform editor will automatically connect the
last point to the voltage level of the first point to create a continuous
waveform.
 Insert Point: Insert a waveform point at the middle position of the currently
edited point and the next edited point.
 Delete Point: Delete the current point from the waveform and connect the
remaining points using the current interpolation method. Note that point 1
cannot be deleted.
7. Edit Block
Define a waveform by editing the time and voltage of the start and end points
and automatically setting the points between them through linear interpolation.
Press Interp to select “Linear”, and then press this softkey to enter the “Edit
Block” interface.
 X1: Set the start point (Time) of the block. Note that this value should be
equal to or less than the “Init Points” and X2.
 Y1: Set the voltage of the start point in mV or V.
 X2: Set the end point (Time) of the block. Note that this value should be less
than or equal to the “Init Points” And be greater than or equal to X1.
 Y2: Set the voltage of the end point in mV or V.
 Execute: Edit the points within the start and end points according to the
current setting.
