Loading a Waveform File
to Output
Do the following steps to load a waveform file into the Setup screen:
1. Push the Waveform/Sequence bottom menu button.
This opens the Waveform/Sequence side menu.
2. Push the Load... side button. The instrument opens the Select File list as shown
in Figure 2-25.
Figure 2-25: Select File dialog on the Load menu
3. Use the general purpose knob or y and b arrow buttons to select the file name
to load. If the file you want to load is located in a different drive or directory,
use the side menu buttons to change the current drive.
4. Push the ENTER front–panel button or OK side button. The instrument loads
the file and displays the file name in the selected channel file icon. Push the
Cancel side button to exit the file load process.
The procedures above explains how to load a waveform or pattern into the
waveform memory, and/or sequence file into the sequence memory, which will be
scanned to output. The waveform memory, sequence memory and the edit buffer
are completely independent. So, you can edit a waveform, pattern, sequence or
equation/text while outputting an another waveform or sequence.
However, when you push SETUP (front–panel)!Waveform/Sequence
(bottom)!Edit (side) to copy the waveform in the waveform memory to the edit
