AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-55
The Graphical Waveform Editor
This section describes the Graphical Waveform editor. The Graphical Waveform
editor lets you create and/or edit an analog waveform. You can choose to display
the waveform graphically or in table format. Refer to page 3-105 for information
on editing waveform data using a table editor.
Editor Screen Elements
To open a new window for graphical waveform editing, push EDIT(front)!
Edit(bottom)!New Waveform (side). Figure 3-8 shows the Waveform Editor
screen elements. Table 3-8 describes the editor screen elements. Table 3-9
describes the bottom menu functions. The sections that follow Table 3-9 describe
the menu operations in detail.
