The Equation Editor
3-110 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Starting the Equation Editor
To start the Equation editor, push EDIT (front)!Edit (bottom)!New Equation
(side). You can also automatically start the Equation editor by loading an equation
file from the EDIT menu file list. Figure 3-27 shows the Equation editor screen.
Table 3-29 describes the editor screen elements that are specific to the Equation
editor. Table 3-30 describes the bottom menu functions. The sections that follow
Table 3-30 describe the menu operations in detail.

Element Description
File name The file name to which the equation or text is written, or the name of the file
being edited. The instrument appends the default .txt file extension to all
Equation editor files. If this is a new file, you are prompted to enter a file
name before exiting the editor. It is suggested that you use the .equ file
extension to identify equation files.
Caret line position The line number in the file where the caret is located. The file starts at line
1.
End Of File marker Indicates the end of the file. All equations or text must be entered before
this marker.
