Locating Files

There are three locations for storing waveform data on the AWG710&AWG710B

Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Data can be stored on the instrument hard disk

drive, the instrument floppy disk drive, or a remote storage device accessible

through the Ethernet interface. If the file you want to load is not on the current

drive, use the EDIT menu main screen Drive and Directory bottom menu buttons

to open side menus that let you change the current drive location. Table 2-5
