Capturing Waveforms
3-182 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Procedures for Capturing Waveforms
Do the following steps to capture a waveform:
1. Set the GPIB parameters in the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform
Generator.
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator must be set to the
controller. Refer to Connecting to a GPIB Network on page 3-160 for setting
the GPIB parameters.
2. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!Comm (bottom)
3. Select Remote control field using y and b buttons. Select GPIB.
4. Select the GPIB Configuration field using y and b buttons. Select Controller.
5. Set the AWG710&AWG710B GPIB address.
6. Push EDIT (front–panel)!Tools (bottom)!Capture Waveform (side).
The dialog box listing the instruments appears as shown in Figure 3-61.
