The Clear All key will remove all segments from the table and will
let you start designing your segment table from fresh.
Click on the Close to discard of the contents of the dialog box
without saving your last actions and to remove the Segment Table
from the screen.
The Save key saves the current session so you can start the
Memory Partition table from the same point after you close this
session. The
Download key updates the 5251 with the present
segment table settings.
TIP
The Memory Partition table does not download
waveforms. Use the memory partition table only if you
merged a few waveforms to one. The partition table then
divides the memory to the individual and original size of
each waveform. If you download waveforms using the
waveform studio, they already contain segment size and
there is no need for further use of the memory partition
table.
Using the Waveform
Studio
The Waveform Studio, as shown in Figure 3-9 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.
