Using the Waveform
Studio
The Waveform Studio, as shown in Figure 4-9 has two parts: 1)
Segment Table and 2) Sequence Table. The purpose of the
waveform studio is to provide access to waveform files that are
already resident in the system. These files can be delegated to
various segments and later be used as individual waveforms or
combined into complex sequences.
The Segment Table
Using the Segment Table you may list and download waveform files
that were previously stored on the computer. The table shows the
segment number and its associated file name, length and its
download status. There are other means to download waveforms to
memory segments such as the Wave Composer and individual
function calls; The waveform studio makes it easier by combining
multiple and complex commands into one simple dialog box.
To access the Segment table, click anywhere on the Segment
Table area. If it was not yet, it will turn white as opposed to the
Sequence Table area that turns gray. The Segment Table area is
divided into three parts: the table area, the waveform shape area
and control buttons. When you point and click on one of the
waveforms, its shape is shown in the Waveform Shape window.
The Segment Table has four fields:
The Seg field contains numbers from 1 through 2048, designating
the programmed memory segment. Note that memory segments
are numbered from 1 to 2048.
The State field shows the current status of the memory segment. It
can be Free , if no file has yet been assigned to this segment
number, or Mapped , if file name has been assigned to the segment
but the Download button has not been used yet to move the file to
the 2074 memory, or
Loaded , if the process has been completed by
pressing either the Download button or the All (download all) button.
The File field is an edit field that lets you browse and select file
names to be applied to a specific memory segment. To change or
add file name, point and click on the File name field and either type
your path or browse to the file location and let Windows find the
right path.
The Length field displays the length of the selected memory
segment. Memory segments size may be programmed from 16 to 2
M. Note that the length field is not accessible and shown for
reference purpose only.
