Creating Waveforms
You will create five waveforms using standard functions. Table 2-16 lists the
waveforms you will create.
Do the following steps to create and save the sequence waveforms:
1. Follow the procedures in Create a Sine Wave on page 2-57.
In the Standard Function pop–up menu, use the parameters found in Table 2-16
for each waveform.
2. Follow the procedures in Save the Waveform on page 2-60.
In the Input File Name dialog box, input the waveform file name according to
Table 2-16.
Figure 2-43 shows the screen displaying three windows. Each window contains one
of the created waveforms. You can open and edit up to three waveforms at the same
time. You may use this window function in the waveform editor for creating the
above waveforms.
Do the following to select a window:
1. Push the Window bottom button.
2. Push the Window 1, Window 2 or Window 3 side button to activate that
window.
