6. Push the EDIT bottom button.
7. Push the EDIT side button.
The equation editor displays the LOG_SWP.EQU file.
Edit the Equation
Do the following steps to replace the sin() equation keyword with the tri() keyword:
1. Use the b button to move the cursor downward and position it at the line
where the sine function is written.
2. Use the ' button to move the cursor position to just after the word sin.
3. Push the button three times in the keypad to delete the word sin.
4. Push the Math Functions bottom button to display the math functions pop–up
menu.
5. Select tri from the pop–up menu using the general purpose knob.
6. Push the OK side button. Confirm that the word tri is inserted at the cursor
position.
Save the Edited Equation
At compile time you cannot specify a storage drive. The instrument uses the drive
specified when you loaded or saved the equation file. To compile the edited
equation file to a hard disk file, you must first save the edited equation to the hard
disk.
Do the following steps to save the edited equation to a hard disk file:
1. Push the File bottom button.
2. Push the Save As... side button.
The Storage Select dialog box is displayed on the screen.
3. Select Main from the dialog box using the general purpose knob.
4. Push the OK side button.
The Input File Name dialog box appears.
5. Push the OK side button.
This saves the equation file without changing the file name.
Compile the Equation
Do the following steps to compile the equation file:
1. Push the Compile side button.
When the compile completes, the waveform is saved into the file log_swp.wfm.
2. Push the View side button to view the compiled waveform, as shown in Figure
2-42.
