Basic Digital Operation
Arbitrary (ARB) Waveform File Headers
Playing a Waveform File that Contains a Header
After a waveform file (AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM) is generated in a modulation
format and the format is turned off, the file becomes accessible to and can only
be played back by the dual ARB player. This is true for downloaded waveform
files (downloading files is described in the
Keysight Signal Generators
Programming Guide
). When the waveform is selected for playback, the saved
header information is used by the signal generator. Some of these settings
appear as part of the labels of the softkeys used to set the parameters, and
also appear on the dual ARB summary display (see
).
NOTE
The signal generator used to play back a stored waveform file must have the
same options as are required to generate the file.
For details on applying file header settings and playing back a waveform, see
“Playing a Waveform” on page 107
.
To properly set up the instrument:
1.
Select the waveform.
2.
Modify the signal generator settings as desired.
3.
Turn on the dual ARB.
