Quick Start
This section introduces a typical Waveform Creator workflow. You will create a test
modulation in M9099 Waveform Creator, download it to the M9381A Vector Signal
Generator (VSG), and verify the resulting RF signal using the N9020A MXA Signal
Analyzer.
This should be sufficient to get you familiar with the basic workflow.

Create a Simple Waveform
Waveforms are created by dragging and dropping waveform segments from the
active Segment Library window into the Waveform Layout window. Once the desired
sequence of waveform segments is achieved, the composite waveform, including any
added noise or other impairments, can be reviewed in the Output Device window.
Follow these steps to create a simple waveform:
1. Run the M9099 Waveform Creator software.
2. Select the Multi-tone Segment Library tab.
3. Drag and drop Segment 1 from the Segment Library window into the Waveform
Layout window by selecting the colored box numbered 1.
The Multi-tone Segment 1 panel appears on the left.
4. Change the segment 1 settings to the following (leave all others at their default
values):
a. Tone Type: Single Tone
b. Tone Frequency: 60.00 MHz
c. Tone Modulation Symbol Rate: 10.00 MHz
d. Tone Modulation Type: 16 QAM
e. Tone Filter Type: Root Raised-Cosine
f. Tone Filter BT/Shape: 0.300
g. Tone Minimum Length: 65536
