3. Push the OK side button.
Use the EDIT menu to rename a created file or move it to another directory.
Saving Hardcopy to a File
If you use the HARDCOPY button to produce a hardcopy file, a file name such as
TEK00000.BMP is automatically assigned as the file name. The “TEK” substring
is fixed. The “00000” substring indicates the counter value, which is reset to 0 each
time you power on the instrument. Hereafter, it is incremented by 1 each time a
hardcopy is produced. The extension is either ‘BMP’, ‘TIF’, ‘BMP COLOR’, or
‘TIF COLOR’, depending on the specified format. The output destination drive
will be as specified in the UTILITY menu. The drive and path are the current drive
and directory of the GPIB that are set when the Hardcopy command is received
from the GPIB.
If you use the GPIB command to produce a hardcopy, you must specify the output
filename using the filename only. Refer to the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator Programmer Manual for more details.
Calibration and Diagnostics
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator can perform
calibration and tests on the internal hardware. This function requires minimal time
to perform, requires no additional equipment, and tests the internal hardware of the
instrument. These tests can be used to quickly determine if the instrument is
suitable for service.
The calibration and diagnostics can be performed in the screen that appears when
you push UTILITY (front–panel)!Diag (bottom).
Calibration
The calibration updates the internal constants so that the instrument outputs
waveforms within the specified accuracy. See Figure 3-60 for the calibration items
and possible error codes.
