Cut
The Cut command deletes the edit area waveform and marker data and places the
deleted data in the paste buffer. The waveform data length decreases by the amount
of data deleted. If you unintentionally delete data, you can use the Undo! bottom
button to undo the cut operation.
Copy
The Copy command copies the waveform and marker data located between the
cursors and places the copied data in the paste buffer. The overall waveform data
record length does not change.
Paste (Insert)
The Paste (Insert) command inserts the contents of the paste buffer into the
waveform record at the active cursor position. The data to the right of the active
cursor shifts to the right by the number of data points inserted. The overall
waveform data record length increases by the number of data points inserted. If the
paste buffer is empty, this command is ignored.
Paste (Replace)
The Paste (Replace) command inserts the contents of the paste buffer into the
waveform record at the active cursor position. The data to the right of the active
cursor is replaced with the number of data points inserted. The overall waveform
data record length is unchanged. If the paste buffer is empty, this command is
ignored.
Multiple Paste...
The Multiple Paste... command inserts the contents of the paste buffer a specified
number of times into the waveform record at the active cursor position. The data to
the right of the active cursor shifts right by the number of data points inserted. The
overall waveform data record length increases. If the paste buffer is empty, this
command is ignored.
Do the following steps to do a multiple paste operation:
Amplitude, or
RMS
Specifies the standard function waveform’s DAC range. The range of values is
from -2.0 to 2.0 in 0.0001 increments. Specifying a negative value creates a
waveform whose first cycle starts with a negative transition (in other words, a
180× phase shift). Refer to the note on page 2-59 for more information on DAC
values.
If you selected Gaussian Noise, this parameter turns to RMS. You can use Root
Mean Square to specify the signal amplitude.
Offset Specifies the function waveform offset value. The range of values is from -1.0 to
0.0 in 0.0001 increments. The default offset is 0.
