The Wave Composer
Being an arbitrary waveform generator, the 2074 has to be loaded
with waveform data before it can start generating waveforms. The
waveform generation and editing utility is part of ArbConnection and
is called – The Waveform Composer. This program gives you tools
to create definitions for arbitrary waveforms. It can also convert
coordinates from other products, such as, oscilloscopes and use
them directly as waveform data. The program is loaded with many
features and options so use the following paragraphs to learn how
to create, edit and download waveforms to the 2074 using the
Waveform Composer.
To launch the wave composer point and click on the Wave tab in

composer. The Wave Composer has main sections: Commands
bar, Toolbar and Waveform screen. Refer to Figure 4-30 throughout
