(semicolon separator), which represents a table of values.
In order to load a sequence table for the arbitrary generator, following requirements have to be met:
• The table must contain exactly 100 rows with 8 subsequent values (8 columns, separated by semicolons) and
must not have gaps
• ThelesmustbestoredinsideafoldercalledHMI_FILESwhichhastobeintherootoftheUSBdrive
• ThelenamemustalwaysstartwithWAVE_UorWAVE_I(notcase-sensitive)
• Values with decimal places must use the comma as decimal separator

G DC End 0...(Nominal value of U or I) - AC End
H Timeinμs 100...36.000.000.000(36billionμs)

► How to load a sequence table (100 sequences) from a USB ash drive:
1. Do not plug the USB drive yet or remove it.
2. Access the function selection menu of the function generator with
MENU -> Function Generator -> Arbitrary.
3. Tap touch area , then and follow the instructions
